Resharpening and Coating
Lafer offers a complete Regeneration service for HM and HSS knives and cutters, and for HM cylindrical tools: drill bits, milling cutters, cutters, and reamers, with processes including Decoating, Resharpening, Cutting Edge Preparation, Wear Control and Coating, all in a single location, in Piacenza.
Our Resharpening department, equipped with state-of-the-art robotized on the market facilities and a metrology room featuring cutting-edge instruments, enables the reconstruction and inspection of cutting edges for both cylindrical tools and gear teeth. All sharpening services are certified and performed in-house.
Development of Coatings
Once surfaces are optimized, we proceed with studying the ideal coating for the specific application.
Decoating
The decoating process is necessary to restore the surface in case of previous coating. Lafer’s decoating process is repeatable, reliable, and optimized based on the base metal alloy to avoid substrate aggression and maintain surface integrity.
