7 PCD-Tipped Increase tool life up to 300 times parts per tool with PCD solutions! Our PCD-tipped tools are ideal for machining aluminium and magnesium alloys, copper, and brass, as well as glass-fibre and carbon-fibre reinforced plastics with cutting speeds between m/min. The utilisation of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tipped tooling has expanded rapidly over the past 10 years within multiple industries. These tools have displaced traditional carbide and high-speed steel (HSS-E) tooling. The economic savings of utilising PCD tooling for machining non-ferrous materials can be categorised in five key areas: Longer tool life, enabling increased machine utilisation and overall increased production. Strong resistance to abrasive wear, even when cutting speeds are extremely high. Higher productivity through increased metal removal rates. Superior surface finishes. Precise tolerance control. In most cases where PCD tools have been evaluated against carbide tooling, customers have realised significant increases in tool life, up to 300 times parts per tool. This dramatic increase in tool life significantly decreases machine downtime, thereby increasing production throughput and lowering overall manufacturing costs per unit.
