Kern Fortis HD: Five-axis machining with the highest precision in a new dimension

Since years customers have been asking for larger parts in Kern quality. The new Kern Fortis HD five-axis machining center addresses this request and will be available for larger parts with the highest precision as of spring 2026. While the external dimensions only grow about 50 percent compared to the Kern Micro HD, the generous machining space allows twice the travel. Read more.

Mastering technical ceramics: Precision ductile CNC machining

Dutch high-precision manufacturer LouwersHanique relies on technology from Kern Microtechnik GmbH. Machining ceramics with µm precision is a challenge that only few companies take on. LouwersHanique has been doing this for decades. And once again, the precision manufacturer has raised the bar of the high-precision machining of brittle materials to a new level. The use of the ductile cutting mode developed by Kern Microtechnik in combination with the high-end machining center Kern Micro HD made all the difference. Read more.

Kern is TOP-Innovator

After 2019 and 2021 Kern Microtechnik GmbH, Eschenlohe, Germany, won another award at the innovation competition TOP 100 in 2024. Both CEOs, Simon Eickholt and Sebastian Guggenmos are particularly pleased about the top innovator award because it clearly demonstrates that Kern does not only continue to invest in innovation management but also achieves success on the market and helps customers gain competitive advantages.

Year 2024

The impact of Kern automated production at WLR Precision Engineering Ltd.

A desire to automate the manufacture of high precision components, whilst getting the best utilisation out of their skilled engineers, was the key element which prompted WLR Precision Engineering Limited to purchase the Kern Micro Vario complete with Erowa Compact 80 automated pallet loading system. Recognising the limitations of traditional workflows and the opportunities presented by automation, WLR sought a solution that could deliver unmatched accuracy, streamline operations, and support their vision for long-term growth.

Five-axes machining center Kern Micro HD+ sets new standards

To rest on what you have achieved means to get caught! This is not an option for technology-leader Kern Microtechnik. Thus, it is not surprising that the machine builder located in Eschenlohe, Bavaria/Germany expands its Micro line after five years with a superior innovation – the Kern Micro HD+. The + stands for an increase in stiffness, thermal stability, precision, no wear and improved ergonomics. Moreover, also circular grinding is an option which can be integrated. Read more.

IWC maintains a profitable partnership with Kern Microtechnik

For the premium watch maker IWC Schaffhausen innovations are the basis for success. This applies to their own watches as well as to their manufacturing process. It is therefore no surprise that high-accuracy machining centers from Kern Microtechnik dominate the milling part. A partnership at eye level that results in ongoing improvements in productivity and innovations. Most recently, IWC invested in five high-end Kern Micro HD machining centers. It quickly becomes clear when entering the halls of IWC International Watch Co. AG in Schaffhausen that manufacturing and automated precision do not contradict each other but complement each other excellently. Because the Swiss manufacturer of exclusive luxury watches - costing between €5,000 and €750,000 - masters this combination like few other companies. While assembly is carried out by master watchmakers in intense manual labor according to the old tradition, automated precision-machining centers are primarily used in machining production.
