Licensing
postponed
|
|
|
|
Germany: CemeCon postpones the licensing proceeding
for the diamond coating of PCB tools. “Despite of a large number of
proposals from major PCB tool manufacturers for receiving a license,
" states Dr. Armin Kraus, Executive Director Marketing – CemeCon
AG, "the prospects couldn’t convince us of their marketingplans.
Hence we have decided to assign no further license at this moment.”
Due to the vast increase of tool life of CCDia®
coated tools and the possible implication for the sales volumes of the
PCB-tool market, the new diamond coatings are regarded as critical by
the tool industry . Dr. Armin Kraus: “Further on, we intend to expend
the number of licensees to accommodate the worldwide demand of coated
PCB tools. However, it is important for us, that our partners are committed
wholeheartedly to our product and that they are disposed to bring the
respective marketing effort – otherwise we can not justify the high-level
development effort, which results from such a partnership." Hence
as a first step - according to the plans of CemeCon - only one second
license shall be granted. The upcoming development work for drilling
and milling tools < 0,9 mm shall not be burdened by to many partners.

A huge manufacturer of PCBs for the telecommunication industry
attains a vastly longer tool life using a diamond coated milling cutter
and thereby significant savings in the area of tooling and set-up costs.
Application data:
Milling cutter type: 1 100 2000 090 with a diameter of 2.0 mm, spiral geometry, tool manufacturer GCT (www.gctool.com)
Coating: CCDia Microspeed (CemeCon AG)
Parameter: PCB-multilayer thickness 1.6 mm approx.,
rev n = 28,000 r/min, advance f = 1.2 m/min.
Result: Tool life could be increased by a factor of 7 to 8 from 30
m to 240 m!

CCDia®MicroSpeed

|
|
Through CCDia®Microspeed,
CemeCon has developed a diamond coating which utilises the elementary
properties of this material. Diamond is the hardest material of the world, is
extremely smooth and exhibits an extremely low tendency of sticking with
respect to hydrocarbons. These advantages have an immediate effect on the
production process: The significantly extended tool life by a factor of at
least six results in cost savings of approximately 40%. (more…)

Who is CemeCon?
|
|
|
|
Since 1986 the coating expert CemeCon, Würselen, Germany is
considered as one of the first-rate vendors when it comes to high-quality
coatings for high-performance tools and components. At Würselen, Germany
CemeCon is operating the world-wide largest coating centre and is the world
market leader in the area of wear protection coatings of diamond tools. With
growth rates of over 50 % per year since the beginning of the Nineties, these
are gaining prominence in industrial cutting operations, in particular in
connection with compound materials, graphite and AlSi alloys. In these areas,
these tools are very much superior to uncoated tools. (more…)
