Dillon Manufacturing introduces Carbinite, a wear-resistant textured carbide coating which reduces or eliminates slippage. Improving the grip on workpieces enhances mill performance and can reduce cycle times. In clamping tests, Carbinite has been shown to nearly double the gripping strength at equal clamping force. Customers report increased grip and longer tool life. Utilizing a process called Electro Spark Deposition (ESD), Carbinite can be added to hard or soft jaws after they are milled to customer requirements. The wear resistant carbide alloys display exceptional bond strength without annealing or distortion. This unique coating is ideal for hard or soft jaws, especially Vise Jaws and Step Jaws used for clamping applications.
