Uses and Purposes
Coatings in the cylindrical tooling sector aim to enhance cutting parameters and reduce friction and operating temperatures.
To ensure extended tool life, Lafer offers a comprehensive package including decoating, sharpening, edge preparation, coating, and post-treatments, applied in traditional sectors such as chip removal on milling cutters, drills, taps, and reamers.
Milling
As the premier machining process for chip removal, milling requires analysis of working conditions and material types to carefully select the most suitable coating. This enhances cutting parameters and contains internal stresses. Lafer solutions significantly increase wear resistance, protecting cutting edges from chip flow.
Drilling
Our solutions for deep drilling tools reduce friction and improve chip flow in the helix. We meticulously handle pre- and post-finishing operations to standardize cutting edges, maximize chip flow, and optimize coated tip performance.
Tapping
In threading operations, Lafer provides excellent solutions for both cutting and rolling taps.
Proposed coatings for every application
Lafer continually refines its base coatings by adapting them to customer needs, thereby creating specialized coatings optimized for specific applications.
