This creates free carbon and hydrogen atoms (ions and radicals) that form a dense coating on the tools and components. Coating properties can be influenced by varying the applied voltage.
The flaking fouls the tools and their components. The result is costly and time-consuming maintenance and cleaning tasks on the cutting elements and often the entire tool.
This also makes it easier to use the same tool to produce parts in a different colour. »An additional problem was the degassing of the plastic inside the tools insert«, comments Frederick Halbout, sales
Outstanding results are achieved, especially for tools with ultra-small diameters.

In the production environment, more than 15 different coating systems can be applied to tools, components, and parts made of many different substrate materials without compromising availability.
Dental screws Dental instruments and tools The gears of highspeed dental drills operate with no oil.
Cutting tools, in particular, are most effective when their geometry is adapted to changed usage conditions.
Customers benefit from a significant increase in performance and above-average tool life of their cutting tools.
