Market leadership for diamond coated routers expected by the end of 2005
Weingarten, Germany: Until the end of this year the up to now only producer of diamond coated PCB tools – GCT – from Weingarten expects to expand immensely its market position in Europe and Asia. “Already in the next months we will - according to our estimations - deliver 10% of the routing volume in Europe”, states Manfred Kling from GCT. At the same time the market volume changes dramatically due to the PCB routers as the tool life increases by a factor of 5-10 compared to current standard tools. Expressed in routing meters the market volume of GCT will increase highly disproportionate.

Aspocomp uses diamond coated routers in mass production
With Aspocomp meanwhile another huge PCB producer uses diamond coated routers in mass production. The Finnish producer’s decision for the innovative tools from GCT is based on a basic test series which confirms quality, performance and the high cost savings.

GCT – Parameter recommendations for machining
Material: FR 4 Router type 1 100 (GCT GmbH), diameter 2,00 mm Coating: CCDia®MicroSpeed (CemeCon AG) Parameter: V = 220 m/min; s = 35.000 1/min; Vorschub Fxy = 1,3 m/min   Result: Tool life increase by factor 5 to 8.   Material: FR 4 with high Tg (170-180°C) Router type 1 100 (GCT GmbH) diameter 2,00 mm Coating: CCDia®MicroSpeed (CemeCon AG) Parameter: V = 180 m/min; s = 29.000 1/min; feed rate Fxy = 1,0 m/min   Result: Tool life increase by factor 6 to 10.

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…)
