How Super-Abrasives Conquered the World
Pioneer Horst Lach looks back on the innovational development and applications of super-abrasives.
For over 100 years LACH DIAMANT, one of the leading manufacturers of diamond and CBN tools, has been equated with progress, precision and quality.
As the only company worldwide with the product portfolio of turning, drilling, milling and grinding tools LACH DIAMANT develops and manufactures customer-specific solutions e.g. for the automotive, wind power and aerospace industries and more.
“We were originally running parts with solid carbide tools and were having issues going through excessive amounts of tooling, along with long cycle times, since coolant wasn’t an option. […]
Being our first step into PCD tooling, we didn’t know what to expect, but Lach Diamond did a fantastic job and helped us utilize the PCD tools to their full potential.
The parts that used to take nearly 6 hours per cycle, have been reduced to only 35 minutes. Tool wear has greatly gone down as well, partially due to the PCD material, but also the tool pathing changes we could make due to the custom tooling they designed.”
As a third-generation family enterprise we work with passion on ever new challenges. It is our motivation to find solutions together with our customers and to optimize their working processes.
About the past 100 years we can proudly say that our visions have (not only one time) turned upside down the industry, since reflecting and rethinking well-known things and thus defining the future is part of our DNA.
Become part of our visions. We look forward to receiving your inquiries.
