<\/div>

TOOLS<\/h2><\/div>

Lafer produces coatings for teeth, tools, and inserts using arc technology and Magnetron Sputtering<\/strong>, offering the best solutions for reducing friction and operating temperatures, as well as increasing cutting parameters.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/a><\/span>
\"Utensili<\/span><\/div>

Gear Cutting<\/a><\/h3><\/div>

In the production and regeneration processes of gear-cutting tools, the primary focus is on cutting performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With this goal in mind, Lafer has developed a work method to offer a comprehensive service<\/strong> that includes decoating, certified sharpening, honing and cutting-edge profile inspection, and specialized coatings for hobs, shaper cutters, and stick blades.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/a><\/span>
\"utensileria<\/span><\/div>

Cylindrical<\/a><\/h3><\/div>

The application of coatings in the cylindrical tooling sector aims to increase cutting parameters<\/strong> and reduce friction and operating temperatures.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/a><\/span>
\"Inserti\"<\/span><\/div>

Inserts<\/a><\/h3><\/div>

In chip removal processes, the goal is to facilitate chip evacuation, subject the tool to the least possible thermal stress, and thereby increase its useful life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

MOLDS<\/h2><\/div>

Lafer coatings are applied to protect mold surfaces from wear and abrasion<\/strong>, facilitate the sliding<\/strong> of movable parts in molds, and prevent material adhesion<\/strong> during the molding process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/a><\/span>
\"Stampaggio<\/span><\/div>

Cold Forming<\/a><\/h3><\/div>

Cold forming <\/strong>processes, whether involving sheet metal deformation, blanking, or deep drawing, subject the components involved (such as punches, dies, and die-presses) to wear, which negatively impacts the quality of the stamped parts and overall productivity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/a><\/span>
\"Stampaggio<\/span><\/div>

Hot forging<\/a><\/h3><\/div>

In the hot forging<\/strong>, particularly in aluminum and zinc-aluminum die-casting processes, preparing the stamping components is crucial to protect molds, inserts, and cores from wear mechanisms and thermal fatigue.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/a><\/span>
\"Stampaggio<\/span><\/div>

Plastic Molding<\/a><\/h3><\/div>

In the plastic molding sector, the quality of the mold’s surface<\/strong> is crucial. The better the physical characteristics of the surface, the higher the quality of the finish on the molded part.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

COMPONENTS<\/h2><\/div>

For the components department, Lafer has developed a range of coatings and treatments aimed at reducing friction and increasing surface hardness<\/strong>. As a result, the treated material shows an overall increase in wear and corrosion resistance and an extended service life of the component.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/a><\/span>
\"Componenti<\/span><\/div>

Engine Components<\/a><\/h3><\/div>

Applying coatings to engine components ensures greater resistance to high temperatures, reduced power losses due to friction, increased contact pressures, and minimized wear.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/a><\/span>
\"Componenti<\/span><\/div>

Medical Components<\/a><\/h3><\/div>

Biocompatibility, reduction of the coefficient of friction, and increased wear and corrosion resistance<\/strong> are the fundamental requirements for devices intended for the medical sector.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/a><\/span>
\"Componenti<\/span><\/div>

Automatic Machines<\/a><\/h3><\/div>

In the automatic machinery sector, it is essential to withstand highly aggressive working conditions in order to reduce production downtime and machine maintenance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
