AXIS Introduces CVD diamond coated tools for graphite machining
Axis introduces CVD Diamond coated tools for machining of Graphite Electrodes and other graphite parts. As graphite is brittle in nature, so machining is also very difficult. Graphite electrodes used in EDM need to be precise and accurate.
Challenges while machining electrode graphite :
– High speed machining centers with 30000 – 60000 rpm spindles are capable of accelerated feeds that serve to reduce cycle times and improve surface finish, as well as edge quality.
This results in lower cutting forces and reduced tool breakage. This is particularly critical becuase many electrodes are intricate and their production involves small, fragile micro
tools.
– Increased RPMs require properly balanced tools with significantly increased chip room to assure proper chip removal. Optimum geometry can assist in both quality and efficiency while milling graphite.
At AXIS, we provide tools with close tolerances and highly uniform CVD Diamond Coating resulting into high quality and precise machining of graphite electrodes.
