 Introduction of a smaller machine based on the K-400 Gear Honing Machine, but having only a driven tooling axis - the K-300- which replaced the previous model D-250-C.The beginning of a research project at the ETH Zürich was laying the foundation of the study of the honing process, which had previously been lacking in process based values. Many further development steps in the field of tool layout, tool material and well as the most up-to-date drive technology were taken as a basis for future generation machine development as a result of this.

Founding of Fässler AG. First product was a Diamond Dressing Unit 
Albert Fässler invents a process to remove heat-treat distortions on gears after the heat treating with an internal-toothed tool. This process was called for a long time simply „Fässlern“ and is referred to today as Gear Honing. Originally the inventor wanted to remove dirt, transport damage and burs from the flanks of the gears. The further value of this process was only discovered later.
Shipment of the first gear honing machine worldwide - the D-250 with NUM controls.
Development of hard broaching of inner profiles with diamond tooling and the introduction of the Hard Broaching Machine using this tooling, the HS-100.
Introduction of a second- generation Gear Honing Machine, the K-400 with driven tooling and work piece axes. This machine is built on top of a Studer Grinding Machine base.
