Coating Guide Tools Precision and high quality surfaces with BALINIT coated tools for food processing and packaging machines Tribological systems are exposed to extreme mechanical stresses.
Even with reground and recoated tools, the same tool service life can be achieved and production cycle times can be maintained.
Tools reground and recoated by Oerlikon Balzers perform as well as new parts, but at lower cost.
Ground Engaging Tools (GETs) are often compromised because they wear by gouging, high-stress abrasion and/or impact, which causes them to lose functionality and ultimately fail.
BALINIT® coatings are continually extending the performance limits of cutting, punching and forming tools and tools used for metal die casting and plastics processing.
Metal Forming Surface treated metal forming tools retain their form much longer than non-treated tools and significantly reduce cost and downtime by improving… Portfolio Coating Guide Coating Solutions
