PCD & PcBN Custom Tools

Tool Design: PCD tipped monobloc tools with multiple steps and cutting edges. All tool bodies are machined from tool steel and are precision ground from the taper to the PCD blades between centers for the best possible TIR. HSK, CAT, BT and tapers for wet and MQL machining are available. All tools are balanced by design as well as mechanically before shipment.

Application: This tool is used in a cylinder head for the cup plug bore. Challenges are machining the feature in one step and not allowing chips/swarf to fall into the water passages.

Advantages: No assembly, no runout adjustment, no setup of cutting edges to size.

Advantages: No assembly, no runout adjustment, no setup of cutting edges to size.

Tool Design: Built of modular exchangeable components to accommodate exhaust and intake machining of the parent seat and valve guide holes. The body is solid carbide with solid carbide guide pads and PCD blades for precision reaming. Mounted on the reamer is a bushing made from tool steel and PCD tipped. All parts are precision ground between centers for the best possible TIR.

Application: Components are interchangeable to accommodate different exhaust and intake valve seat parent holes. Similar modular solutions are available for engine, transmission, fluid technology, chassis and brake as well as aircraft parts.

Advantages: No assembly, no runout adjustment, no setup of cutting edges to size.

Tool Design: This high precision reaming system is based on using multiple solid carbide guides and PCD inserts to ensure precision hole making with diametric and geometric consistency. For optimal TIR the system is paired with a simple runout adjustment and clamping system designed for this precision reamer system.

Application: For use in all reaming operations requiring precise diameter consistency, straightness and roundness requirements.

Advantages: Precision holes; the operation doesn’t follow the pre-bored holes. This system is ideal when more open tolerance requirements exist in situations with low component, fixture or machine spindle rigidity.

Tool Design: Multiple contoured, precision PCD tips match your required complex contouring operation. The tools are available as steel body monobloc tools, with solid carbide body, and as combination tools.

Application: All axial, radial, circular milling, grooving, and plunging contour operations.

Advantages: No restrictions due to clamping/location of inserts. No difficult set up of multiple inserts to match your contour.

Tool Design: Our drills are based on solid carbide bodies and either PCD wing tipped, across center or sandwich diamond tipped.

Application: If diametric consistency is needed in your drilled hole or longer life is needed, or you have high silicon content in your material this is the way to go.

Advantages: PCD drills will hold hole size to your specification longer than solid carbide drills can.

Tool Design: We have multiple precision ground holder solutions with adjustment capabilities for HSK, CAT and BT.

Application: All precision machining operations with weak spindle interface conditions, or high length to diameter ratios.

Advantages: Eliminate runout issues and improve the quality of your machining operation.

Tool Design: If you did not see an obvious solution above, please contact us with your requirements and we will develop one for you.

Application: Solutions are available for engine, transmission, fluid technology, chassis and brake as well as aircraft parts.

Advantages: If you are using multiple tools and cycle time is an issue, let us deal with tooling solutions that work and which will improve your operations, lower your costs, and improve throughput.
