YKT handles grinding machines and coating devices that produce high precision cutting tools. Along with this, we can also propose devices for cutting-edge machining and surface treatment that further enhance the performance of tools. In Vol.1 and Vol.2, we will introduce three devices from German and Swiss manufacturers with advanced surface treatment technology based on their extensive experience and know-how.
Why is cutting-edge machining and surface treatment of tools and parts important?
Cutting tools are indispensable for manufacturing. Treatment of the cutting edge and surface of the tool can be an essential process depending on the type of tools or parts, but why is it important in the first place?
＜Facts & importance of cutting-edge machining / surface treatment＞
■ The greatest benefit of surface treatment ⇒ Improves the durability and stability of the tip and surface ・ Prevents chipping of the tip and cracking of the coating film ・ Minimizes surface roughness to improve chip removal and efficiently dissipate heat. ・ Increase the adhesion of the coating
■ Tool performance is significantly improved by performing optimum surface treatment. ...Without treatment, performance is not stable. On the other hand, over-treatment (too much) is not good either. ■ ...There are various surface treatment methods such as magnetic polishing, wet blasting / dry blasting, and barrel polishing.

Magnetfinish / cutting-tool surface treatment device (surface polishing / honing) - magnetic treatment makes round honing fully automatic!
Magnetfinish are devices especially suitable for machining small diameter cutting tools. Round honing machining of the tool edge is very important for extending tool life and to ensure high precision coating. Especially when the tip is completely sharp during coating, it is not possible to form a uniform film and cracks are likely to occur. By rounding the tip, it leads to a highly durable coating. This technique is very difficult to perform, but with the advent of this device, it is now possible to perform the machining fully automatically and continuously.
