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

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.

I am looking forward to the new CHALLENGE and my future TASKS as Head of Sales Europe.

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.

In India and Southeast Asia, the machining sector is growing steadily, and high-performance precision tools are in hot demand.With CemeCon’s coating technology, more and more tool manufacturers are gaining competitive advantages there.

If you want to produce outstanding precision tools that are ahead of the competition, you need top-class technology in all facets of tool manufacturing – not least in coating.

Wherever thick chips fall, for example in the heavy-duty machining of rails, switches, pipes and crankshafts, as well as in the rotary peeling of cast iron and ferrous materials, high-performance cutting inserts with long tool lives and good performance are an absolute must.

When machining hardened steels beyond 50 HRC, precision tools with SteelCon® coatings achieve top performance.

“The results we are achieving with the unparalleled PVD coatings on our tools are fantastic and have convinced us so much that we have invested in an additional PVD system.” Jorge Ferreira, CEO at Palbit, is enthusiastic.

Automotive, aerospace, medical technology – high-tech industries depend on first-class precision tools for the process-reliable, high-precision and, last but not least, economical production of their components from materials that are often difficult to machine.

Our customer ZECHA wins the 2021 Baden-Württemberg State Innovation Award with a new type of diamond-coated micro-precision tool. The State Innovation Award – the Dr. Rudolf Eberle Award – was one of the first prizes to be awarded for innovation in Germany.

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.

CFRP and GFRP, aluminum and titanium stacks, Peek, glass fiber-reinforced aluminum - if you want to machine modern materials reliably and at the same time faster and more precisely and with fewer machining steps, i.e. more productively, you need material-optimized tools and processes.

Since the beginning of 2020, CemeCon K.K. has been supporting Japanese tool manufacturers with diamond coatings at its new coating center in Nagoya. Now the experts have expanded their range to include HiPIMS technology.

With strong investments in state-of-the-art, sustainable production capacities, in digitalization and in the service area, the tool manufacturer NACHREINER is making itself fit for current and future market challenges.

Whether in e-mobility, aerospace, for wind turbines, implants or sporting goods – anyone who wants to machine CFRP or GFRP economically needs high-quality precision tools with adapted coatings.

Which coating material is good for which application? What is actually the difference between coating material and coating? What options do tool manufacturers have? What do you have to pay attention to before coating?
