The machining sector is also growing steadily in India, and high-performance precision tools are in hot demand. Accusharp is one of the leading Indian tool manufacturers. In order to consolidate and expand its market position, the company from Pune relies on high manufacturing know-how and modern technologies.

Electrically conductive, temperature-resistant and a good heat conductor, dimensionally stable, lightweight and more – graphite has numerous positive properties. This makes it the ideal material for a wide range of applications and industries, such as tool and mold making, electromobility and the semiconductor industry.

Faster production, full quality control, no costs for job coaters – the advantages for an in-house coating line are obvious.

Anyone who thinks that diamond coatings are only suitable for shank tools and that PCD is always required on cutting inserts in corresponding applications is mistaken

The Electronics industry, Micromachining, Aerospace, Tool and mould making and Medical technology – the key to High-precision machining of the Micro components and finest contours are tools that are only a few millimetres or even tenths of a millimetre thin.

Precision tools with highly specific properties in ever smaller batch sizes and with shorter development cycles – the demands of the machining markets are high.

The tool manufacturer Horn has been coating its cutting tools with HiPIMS high-performance coatings in its own coating center since 2015.

The market situation in tool and die making is more dynamic than ever. Changing markets, ever smaller batch sizes, individual products, continuously increasing quality requirements and shorter development times – the challenges for tool and die makers are manifold.

With Italy’s largest coating service in Piacenza, Lafer SpA has been supplying coatings at the highest level for a wide range of industries for over 30 years.

HiPIMS is the future of PVD coatings. The market agrees on this. The technology combines the advantages of all common coating processes.

Electromobility, classic vehicle construction, aerospace, construction, mechanical engineering, electronics, air conditioning and solar technology, packaging and more – we encounter aluminum almost everywhere.

The HiPIMS (High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering) process and its advantages for the machining industry.

Incremental changes highlight recent advances in the wake of severe supply chain challenges

The CC800® HiPIMS is the fastest, most flexible and most economical coating system on the market.

Those who have their precision tools coated by CemeCon can rely on premium quality.

Hardened and stainless steels and titanium – silicon-containing coatings are the answer to materials that are difficult to machine.

The world of machining is changing. With the transition from the internal combustion engine to alternative drive systems, traditional automotive manufacturing as the most important mainstay for many machining companies and tool manufacturers is being reduced enormously.

Whether for e-mobility or in aircraft construction – lightweight materials such as aluminum and titanium-aluminum alloys are increasingly being used to reduce weight. These high-performance materials pose special challenges for machinists, which they can only meet with precisely matched high-end tools.

Precision tools with SteelCon® coatings achieve outstanding results when machining hardened steels above 50 HRC. Originally designed for hard machining, SteelCon® has proven to be capable of much more

Customized diamond coatings for all applications. A premium coating is the result of numerous options that CemeCon, together with the manufacturer, precisely matches to the application and the precision tool.

Tailored coatings bring the decisive advantage. Tool manufacturers who come to the CemeCon coating center in Nagoya, Japan, are often looking for a solution in a highly competitive market to increase their profits with premium coatings for their precision tools.

Stepper takes a giant step forward in stainless steel processing with InoxaCon®. Hardly any product has been in such demand in the past two years as electronic components – no electronics without plugs and plug contacts.

More performance in the machining of hardened steel for injection molds. In tool and mold making, the machining of hardened steels beyond 50 HRC is standard. It nevertheless remains a discipline for specialists, especially for manufacturers of precision tools.

CemeCon engineering brings competitive advantages. Medical technology, electromobility, electronics – machining operations in these markets often entail high demands.

Kanne secures competitive advantages in medical technology with the CC800® HIPIMS. In medical technology, precision and safety have top priority – both for the doctor performing the work and for implants and tools.

HiPIMS is conquering the markets as a coating technology. A few years ago, when this technology was first introduced, CemeCon in particular set industry standards as a technology leader and pioneer.

Milling or die sinking? This question arises almost daily in tool and die making when it comes to the production of punches, dies, injection molds or similar. Unfortunately, there is no one true machining strategy for all eventualities. Diverse requirements determine which process achieves the desired results.

Coating an extremely costly individual piece from high-tech markets under high time pressure is the nightmare of every production manager – and TEandM's successful business model.

Graphite electrodes, dental implants, sporting goods, lightweight components for automotive or aerospace, punches and dies - diamond coatings are used in many different applications and materials.
