HQ189EN_CUTTING-TOOLS_Overview
Oerlikon Balzers offers comprehensive coating solutions and services for cutting tools, engineered to significantly boost machining productivity and lower production costs across diverse industries such as power generation, mechanical engineering, medical, automotive, and aerospace. Their innovative portfolio encompasses three primary coating families: BALINIT, BALIQ, and BALDIA. BALINIT coatings are renowned for their extreme hardness, high wear resistance, very good oxidation resistance, and improved thermal stability, effectively extending tool service life and enabling higher cutting speeds. BALIQ coatings, a technological breakthrough based on S3p® (Scalable Pulsed Power Plasma) technology, intelligently combine arc evaporation and magnetron sputtering to achieve exceptional precision in coating thickness, revolutionary smoothness for efficient chip removal, excellent wear resistance, and high density, with BALIQ® UNIQUE providing aesthetic customization through various colors. BALDIA diamond coatings are specifically designed for machining highly abrasive base materials, including compacted and sintered powders, and fibre-reinforced composites. These coatings deliver unsurpassed hardness, enhanced thermal conductivity, extreme wear resistance, and chemical inertness, ensuring the tightest tolerances and superior finishing accuracy in demanding applications like gear cutting, milling, drilling, and reaming. Complementing these advanced coatings, Oerlikon Balzers provides a global reconditioning service for round tools, which can yield over 50% cost savings compared to new tools, and primeGear, a customized service that optimizes gear cutting tool performance by analyzing the entire tool life cycle, resulting in enhanced process reliability, reduced tool wear, extended tool life, and overall lower production costs. These integrated solutions collectively improve tool performance, extend lifespan, and promote sustainability.
