TKD adds a new generation of Dead Center Points to its product line of super wear resistant material solutions. The Dead center is reinforced with polycrystalline diamond (PCD) in the head area. Unlike traditional centering systems with carbide tips, this design advantage extends tool life, increases productivity and improves product quality. In addition, production costs are minimized.
Traditionally the usage of carbide tip always cause overheating, friction and wear (such as cylindrical grinding of cylindrical parts in the automotive industry), so the use of TKD Diamond Dead Center with additional PCD reinforcement becomes "more better" : PCD brings extra hardness, minimizing friction. Thermal conductivity is very good compared to conventional clamping tools without PCD, and wear sensitivity is greatly reduced due to low friction coefficient.
As a result, part manufacturers can make better use of their machine performance and reliably process higher machining speeds or workpiece speeds than ever before. Noise levels and vibrations are also reduced, and even at higher workpiece clamping forces, the risk of chattering marks is greatly reduced. TKD Diamond PCD dead center is the key to improving component quality, reducing cycle times, increasing productivity and saving costs.
