manufacturer Sucotec AG Mar 13, 2018 Balzers, Liechtenstein, 13 March 2018 – Oerlikon has acquired Sucotec AG, a Swiss manufacturer specializing in CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition) equipment for the tools
Coating Guide BALINIT ARCTIC Series Coatings that leave tools cold PVD-nitride coatings are mostly applied by arc evaporation at temperatures between 400°C and 450°C.
Group’s high-growth additive manufacturing business access to the new sector of contract manufacturing for medical components; Sucotec, to add chemical vapor deposition technology capability for the tooling
Continued demand from the automotive and tooling industry in Europe, Asia and the United States contributed to a positive development in the Thin Film service business.
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.
Today, the site in Suzhou is a vast production facility where the wide product range covers applications for cutting tools, forming tools, automotive parts and precision components.
Just as significant are the surface and edge treatment, the interface engineering and optimal tool coating in order to achieve optimum results.
Cost-Effective Production The ability to create parts directly from digital designs eliminates the need for costly tooling and reduces material waste.
