Rollomatic Inc. continues the success and growth of its series of CNC multiaxis tool grinding machines by announcing the addition of the LaserSmart laser ablation machine.

The initial strategy with this machine is to offer extra-fine 3-dimensional laser machining for the cutting tool industry. This machine is particularly suited for superhard materials such as PCD, cBN and other high-technology materials. The surfaces on which laser machining is performed does not have to flat, it can have an arbitrary geometry. Preliminary applications are rake faces, chip breakers, logos and tool numbers on PCD, cBN or CVD silicon-carbide inserts.
