Hard Machining Beyond the 50 HRc Limit
CC800®/9 JET: Compact design, full performance -
Top-quality and economy also at low tool throughputs
The CC800® family of coating systems has grown: through the youngest and smallest addition, the CC800®/9 JET, CemeCon is completing its offerings of smaller systems thereby permitting also small to medium-sized vendors to economically enter into the area of in-house coating. And when the capacity needs to be expanded, the coating system simply grows by demand.
Already the basic JET systems are capable of coating up to 900 drills, respectively 2,450 indexable inserts within the shortest period of time. Throughputs, with which many vendors can produce economically for quite a while. And when coating complexity increases, then CemeCon has the matching solutions.
All CemeCon coating systems are based on the same system design (CC800®/9) and identical process engineering.
In this manner CemeCon attains, using the JET system, the production of the same coatings of the same high quality as for the "large systems" whereby the aspect of economy remains the same - a significant benefit especially should the user want to change later on to a different CemeCon system. He may simply transfers his well proven coatings to the new system without having to change production. And in doing so, the menu guided user interface of the systems will always remain as simple as can be.

Not for "Softies" - Hard, harder, HSN²
Improved surface qualities, shorter processing times, shorter door-to-door times - hard machining beyond the 50 HRc limit offers tremendous advantages for the machining vendor. HSN² is the response from CemeCon to these extreme requirements. Because only precision tools carrying this innovative coating material make reliable hard machining feasible. The new coating material is based on the second generation supernitrides from CemeCon thereby "degrading to softies" other coatings used in the past for hard machining.
The excellent results attained in practice speak for themselves. Carsten Klein, Managing Director of the tool manufacturer from Lindlar, Germany: "For many years now we are enjoying with CemeCon a close partnership-like relationship. Always when the need arises to find a special or even difficult solution, we can rely on the coating specialists. Hard machining, just as in the specific case of having to mill cold work steel 1.2767, is a good example of this". Carbide corner radius milling cutters and as well as ball-head milling cutters coated with HSN2 from Voha-Tosec do far better compared to tools coated with conventional hard coatings and even compared to special hard processing coatings of competitors. For example in the area of wear. Carsten Klein: "Our tool exhibits after 30 hours of use with 0.02 mm compared to 0.03 mm, respectively 0.05 mm significantly much less wear".
For Voha-Tosec the conversion has paid off. Through tools coated with HSN² the company is now also on the safe side when it comes to hard machining: shorter processing times, reduced setup and handling times as well as higher quality, cut costs significantly in the end.
CCDia® Diamond coatings
The CCDia® product series is a coating material developed by CemeCon from pure diamond, which takes advantaged of the elemental characteristics of this material. Diamond is the hardest material in the world; it is extremely smooth and has an extremely low tendency to adhesion. These advantages have a direct effect on the production process: significant increases in service life for machining non-ferrous metals, graphite, composite materials, AlSi alloys and hard-to-mill materials - many new materials can only be processed commercially with CCDia® coatings.
What are Supernitrides?
New materials and modern machining technology demand the highest performance from your tools every day. This applies especially to the tool surface. It should be hard and tough. There must be enough sufficient wear volume, and the chips must be removed without difficulty. All these requirements are met especially well by Supernitrides. The nanostructure of these top-performance coatings ensures the highest toughness with maximum hardness. And the manufacturing process combines super-smooth surfaces with unrivalled wear volume.
In the area of modern machining operations like hard machining, with its latest Supernitride generation CemeCon raises the coating market standard up to a hard level. The extremely smooth high-quality SN²- and HSN²-coatings assure best machining results for a large number of materials and extremely smooth surface as well as an excellent adhesion.
Who is CemeCon?
CemeCon has 350 employees worldwide, 240 in the headquarters in Wurselen next to Aachen, and is one of the most successful companies in the area of high performance coatings for tools for machining operations. CemeCon offers its customers high-quality coating solutions, the adapted coating technology and a huge range of services around its main competences. CemeCon runs the world's largest coating plant for PVD coatings in Wurselen and maintains other manufacturing locations in the USA, Scandinavia and China.
