Laserbearbeitung von PKD-Schneidwerkzeugen

Laser machining is a future oriented solution for the manufacturing of tools from ultra hard cutting materials. Owing to the flexibility of the laser there is the possibility to manufacture customized tools for cutting applications as an alternative to mass manufactured tools. In contrast to hard metal, ultrahard cutting materials made of diamond and polycrystalline cubic boron nitride Spanleitstufen are seldom realized in duplicate parts. Especially the large variety of surface geometries of hard metal tools to guide and shape the chip, however, emphasizes their significance in optimizing the overall performance
