Crystallume, the company that pioneered the development and application of Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) diamond coating technology will showcase its latest innovations at this year’s IMTS 2014, the International Manufacturing Technology Show. Crystallume dominates the industry with over 25 patents awarded. A sampling of Crystallume’s new products follows.
This year’s IMTS lineup includes diamond coated coolant hole drills specially designed to effectively evacuate chips and dust out of a drilled hole in deep-drilling applications, making cleaner, faster and more productive cuts.
Kevlar drills, featuring an exclusive Black Widow coating (a combination of diamond and graphite), are designed with points specifically for creating clean holes in Kevlar. The Black Widow coating provides extended life for longer running jobs.
Curved flute composite routers are created for trimming composite material such as carbon fiber and has a fluted design curved like a crescent moon to reduce delamination.
Rough cut and fine cut alligator back routers are designed to work exceptionally in composite trimming applications. The alligator back design increases feed rate while maintaining low tear-out. Rough and fine cuts provide fast trimming.
Exact-size mold making end mills are for ultra-precision five-axis electrode jobs where the exact size of the end mill is required. Exact-sizing is now furnished at no extra cost on the Mold Maker end mill series.
“We’re excited to be releasing such a powerful line of tools—all of which were designed to exceed customer needs.” said Ed Francis, VP of Engineering at Crystallume. “Visitors to our IMTS booth will see some of the most innovative solutions for composite machining being introduced at IMTS. Crystallume is constantly pushing the envelope of tool design, from the Bullet drills introduced at the last IMTS to these new solutions presented this year.”
