World-wide tool tipping
service
sp3 Diamond Technologies offers a tool tipping service to
provide the benefits of DiaTip free-standing diamond tips to tool users around
the world. sp3 will braze DiaTips to customer-supplied carbide
inserts.
Features
sp3's DiaTip free-standing diamond insert
tips feature a cutting surface of pure diamond with no binder. DiaTipped
inserts provide a wear life 2 to 3 times that of PCD, and maintain edge
sharpness longer. Absence of binder avoids chemical interaction with coolant or
workpiece material.
Fabrication
A stand-alone sheet of
thick-film diamond is grown in a chemical vapor deposition reactor. Typical
films are 20 mils (500 microns) thick. The diamond sheets are laser cut into
DiaTips, which are then brazed to carbide inserts. Diatips may also be applied
to steel inserts and cartridges on special order.
 DiaTipped inserts and cartridges are supplied
ready for grinding by the customer. |
