Tools

Lafer creates coatings for gear teeth, tools, and inserts using arc technology and Magnetron Sputtering and HiPIMS, offering the best solutions for reducing friction and operating temperatures, as well as for increasing cutting parameters.

Molds

Lafer coatings are applied to protect the molding surfaces from wear and abrasion, facilitate the sliding of the mold’s moving parts, and prevent sticking phenomena of the molded material.

Components

For the components department, Lafer has developed a range of coatings and treatments dedicated to reducing friction and increasing surface hardness. Consequently, the treated material shows a general increase in wear and corrosion resistance and an extended component lifespan.
