VpCI®-418 LM can be used on a variety of metals (carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, galvanized steel, brass [30% Zn], copper) and may be used at different dosages for light, medium, or heavy-duty cleaning.
The company's Tiger system has firmly established itself as the gold standard for cutting tool insert finishing, with installations in many of the world's leading cutting tool insert manufacturers. The system can be configured to process inserts for all essential pre-coating, edge honing or post-coating operations.
In the world of corrosion control, preventing rust is always the best option. Unfortunately, existing rust can be found in every industry, at almost any plant or jobsite.
For proper material preparation The KBC Pneumatic Hand Chamfering Tool allows you to remove burrs easily and quickly to create a uniform edge with repeatable accuracy up to almost 1mm depth, prepare metal for welding jobs and clean them up after, and a host of other needs in the machine shop or on site. The bearing runs along the edge of the surface while two carbide inserts chamfer the edge for smooth results. (Replacement standard triangular tip carbide inserts, TCMT-09T3, are available.)
Whether for downstream processes or to ensure the lasting and reliable function of a product, rising requirements for particulate and filmic-chemical component cleanliness are increasingly causing cleaning tasks to be shifted to clean environments.
Every cutting insert experiences a drop in performance when approaching the end of its life cycle. If this condition goes undetected for any amount of time, part-machining performance, as well as part quality, may have already suffered.
