CemeCon: Accurate contours thanks to patented diamond coatings
Zero loss in precision - High-quality CCDia® coatings with the best surface possible
(PresseBox) - Keeping tolerances within micrometres has long been par for the course with machining operation tools. However, cutting sharpness, resilience and surface smoothness do not depend only on a tool's design and the material that it is made from. The choice of coating actually plays an important role as well. With its patented CCDia® diamond coating materials, CemeCon AG combines extreme smoothness with maximum abrasion resistance, all without any loss in precision.
High accuracy is the name of the game: the manufacturing industry seems to be increasingly committed to this idea. When it comes to micro-components ? which are used in medical equipment, mobile phones and other precision devices ? the highly accurate processing of various materials is also increasingly part of the specifications in cutting operations.
But extreme accuracy is also the number one priority for larger items: if, in particular, smooth surfaces or accurate contours are needed, tolerances are usually in the µm scale. This not only makes particular demands of the cutting tools, which need absolutely precise cutting geometry, but also of the coatings, which must alter the contouring accuracy as little as possible.
As a developer and manufacturer, CemeCon AG provides high-quality coating solutions for cutting that can meet these requirements. Manfred Weigand, Product Manager at CemeCon: "As technology continues to get smaller and smaller, so too must the machining tools. Milling cutters with a diameter of 0.5 mm or less are not uncommon. Coatings have to be able to follow suit: they cannot be too 'thick' and affect how the tool functions, but at the same time they must have a high level of abrasion resistance,"
The tightest of tolerances are adhered to
CemeCon manages to ensure that this is the case by using a special CVD process for manufacturing multilayer CCDia® series diamond coatings. The patented combination of crystalline and nano-crystalline structures allows a coating structure to form with excellent hardness and wear resistance properties, perfect smoothness and excellent thermal conductivity.
Manfred Weigand: "The multilayers of our CCDia® series can be applied in layer thicknesses of 3 to 15 µm, depending on the intended use. This leads to precision grinding and coating compared to no tolerance change. Only the tolerance position changes, guaranteeing exact contour accuracy and sharpness of the edges."
With around 250 employees worldwide, of which approximately 170 are based at the company's Würselen plant near Aachen in Germany, CemeCon is one of the world's most successful companies specialising in high-performance coating solutions for cutting tools and offers a wide-range of services.
At its plant in Würselen, CemeCon operates one of the world's largest coating centres and is also represented by production sites and company offices in the USA and China. Forty CC800®/9 coating systems form the basis of the coating technology used at the plant in Würselen to provide innovative coating solutions for the European market.
With its range of highly successful products, including PVD sputter technology (HiPIMS-Powernitrides, Supernitrides and Hard and Super Hard Coatings) and CVD diamond coating solutions from the CCDia®i series, CemeCon is a pioneer, setting the course for modern coating technology. For over 25 years, CemeCon has been using the PVD sputter process to produce hard, smooth and adhesive coatings in order to keep improving the performance of precision tools. As a market leader specialising in high-performance CVD diamond coating solutions for machining tools, CemeCon has been using the CVD process to manufacture deposited diamond coatings since the late 1980s and operates the world's largest diamond coating centre at its plant in Würselen.
By adapting the substrate, geometry and coating to suit the tool's application, we use state-of-the-art production technology to create high-performance coatings for precision tools and parts.
