Abstract :
Disassembly processes require flexible tools for loosening and handling operations. Today, disassembly processes require lots of manual labour and a vast variety of tools. Partly destructive tools, which generate and use new acting surfaces, increase the economic viability and promote the reuse of components due to their flexibility. This article describes selected methods of acting surface generation and usage for prototypical tools
