State-of-the-art de-coating and coating
With our innovative de-coating process, the substrate remains undamaged, and the interface layer is preserved. This avoids cobalt leaching – a method that would otherwise shorten the tool life of reconditioned tools when applied as a conventional process. This forms an ideal basis for reworking and fresh coating.
With our state-of-the-art Quad-Coating coating system, we combine the advantages of the sputter process with those of the ARC process. This is akin to a quantum leap in tool coating – the advantages of both processes having been combined in perfect synergy. Outstandingly smooth surfaces with excellent coating adhesion – for outstandingly long performance.
When using conventional processes, a tool can only be reground and re-coated around 3-5 times. Our innovative reconditioning process with finely tuned precision enables us to overcome this natural limit.
Thanks to our de-coating and coating process, a tool can be regrinded as often as the tool geometry allows!
Coating
Bespoke and professional coatings of tool surfaces is vitally important when it comes to the performance, tool life and precision of brand-new and regrinded tools. Utilising state-of-the-art coating systems, we perform these processes in next to no time – and with the highest level of precision. This lays the groundwork for rapid and controlled processes in such a crucial phase of production – thereby ensuring the highest quality with rapid delivery times.
