Coating cutting and forming tools with PVD used in machines for manufacturing products significantly increase their service life and performance compared with uncoated tools and save on valuable raw materials
Oerlikon’s additive manufacturing unit is leading transformative change in the aerospace, medical, automotive, power generation and tooling industries.
Just as significant are the surface and edge treatment, the interface engineering and optimal tool coating in order to achieve optimum results.
equipped with the latest coating technology, allowing Oerlikon Balzers to supply coating services for the precision components industry and for cutting, plastic/aluminium injection and metal forming tools
In both groups the ending “DC” stands for maximum coating quality with consistently high tool performance and the tightest possible tolerances for tool diameter and coating thickness.
The unique features of this coating prevent the cutting heat from penetrating into the tool, instead keeping it where it best supports the machining process: in the chip.
