PCD tools

Definition :

PCD inserts (polycrystalline diamond) are composed of two layers :

● One support layer in tungsten carbide
● A layer of PCD crystals bound with a metal agent

Machining with soft materials

Carbide tools are often subject to disproportionate degradation. The chipping procedure produces excessive heat, causing accelerated wear of the tool. PCD tools allow a better heat evacuation through the chips than hard metal tools. Chipping is easier to handle, and the tool suff ers less wear.

Leader of form cutters in PCD Laser machining

The production of PCD cutting tools by laser machining is highly complex, requiring ultra-precise and sophisticated machines.

Laser sharpening generating no efforts on the tool, the mass and the kinetic of the machine have been developed specifically to ensure very fast and precise movements.
