Ceratizit Dragonskin multilayer coating helps lower heat and reduce tool wear

Ceratizit USA will highlight numerous tooling technologies, along with an in-process machine monitoring and optimization system at IMTS 2022.

Dragonskin multilayer coating helps lower heat and reduce tool wear, the company reports. The gold-colored TiN outer layer of the CVD Ti(C,N)/Al2O3/TiN coating enables users to identify wear clearly and index before a breakage while it prevents sharp cutting edges from going unused or an insert being discarded prematurely.

Multifunction EcoCut solid-carbide and insert tools help reduce setup time and increase productivity with support for drilling with stationary or rotating tools or for turning face, inner, and outer contours. Classic, Mini, and ProfileMaster versions address various diameters and bores for use in steel, stainless steel, and high-temperature materials.

The WTX-HFDS four-flute, solid-carbide drill features a pyramid-point geometry that distributes cutting forces equally to all cutting edges for longer tool life and aggressive performance in steel and other materials.

The ToolScope system for digital monitoring and control of machining operations records a continuous stream of signal data generated by machine tools during production, then visualizes the data for machine monitoring and adjustment.
