With increasing pressure from competitors and end users, tool manufacturers are always looking for ways to simplify the manufacturing process, raise productivity and reduce costs. By switching from brazed inserts to centre-lock full inserts, these aspirations can become a reality. HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPONENTS Centre-lock full face PCBN inserts provide for easily manufactured multi-cornered tools with a number of benefits: – A more robust cutting component than a conventional brazed tool – Greater reliability in interrupted cutting applications – Elimination of the braze joint allowing higher temperature coatings to be applied – Reduced insert failure risks and improved production – Longer cutting edges which enable productivity improvements in application; either through the use of larger depths of cut or plunge-type machining operations – High and low CBN content configurations The benefits of using centre-lock full-face inserts • Eliminate pocketing and brazing procedures • Improved precision by eliminating brazing inaccuracies • Reduce the amount of handling • Cut the overall production cost per usable corner • Apply higher temperature coatings • Shorten the production pipeline by eliminating the need for: • carbide preparation • segment cleaning • brazing • after-brazing cleaning
