PCD/CVD Notching Tools For Rolls Machining

High-Precision PCD/CVD Notching Tools for Tungsten Carbide Roll Machining

Elevate your roll machining capabilities, especially when working with ultra-hard Tungsten Carbide (TC) rolls used in demanding industrial environments. ZYsuperhard’s specialized PCD/CVD Notching Tools are expertly engineered to overcome the extreme challenges of machining TC. They deliver unmatched precision, exceptional durability, and significantly improved efficiency for creating critical grooves, ribs, crescent shapes, and other complex forms essential for roll functionality.

Engineered for Demanding Roll Applications:

Our notching tools leverage the superior properties of Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) and, where applicable, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) diamond technology:

• Unmatched Wear Resistance: Directly tackle the high abrasiveness of Tungsten Carbide. PCD/CVD cutting edges maintain their sharpness far longer than conventional tooling options, leading to substantially extended tool life, dramatically reduced machine downtime for tool changes, and lower overall machining costs per roll.
• Precision Form Generation: Consistently achieve precise groove dimensions, intricate rib profiles, accurate crescent shapes, or other specific patterns required for various roll functions – such as those used in wire guiding, specific metal forming profiles, material texturing, or identification marking. These dedicated tools are optimized for geometric accuracy, ensuring reliable and repeatable roll performance.
• Enhanced Machining Efficiency: The sharp, robust, and long-lasting cutting edges allow for efficient material removal rates when machining TC, boosting productivity in critical roll manufacturing and reconditioning operations.

Optimized Tool Design & Structure Options:

While general-purpose PCD milling or carving tools might be adapted for certain roll features, our dedicated notching and forming tools are specifically designed and optimized for creating grooves, ribs, and related forms with superior accuracy and performance. We offer structures tailored to your application and budget:

• Tipped PCD: A highly effective and often cost-efficient solution where a precision-ground PCD segment is securely brazed onto a durable tool body, suitable for a wide range of standard notching tasks.
• Full Face PCD: Provides maximum cutting edge rigidity and potentially the longest tool life for the most demanding, high-volume, or critical tolerance applications, featuring a cutting face composed entirely of PCD material.

Custom Solutions & Complete Roll Machining Portfolio:

As roll designs and required profiles vary greatly, ZYsuperhard specializes in custom-designed PCD/CVD notching and forming tools. We manufacture tooling based on your specific profile drawings, dimensional tolerances, and application requirements. Furthermore, our expertise extends beyond notching; we provide a comprehensive portfolio of tools essential for Tungsten Carbide roll ring machining and processing hardened steel rolls, including:

• Four-edge PCD grooving tools
• Solid CBN turning inserts (ideal for hardened steel rolls)
• PCBN inserts (for interrupted cuts or heavy roughing on steel/cast iron rolls)
• A range of related accessories
