The machining of GRP and CFRP calls for special know-how. Meanwhile, diamond tools – either with diamond or PCD – belong to the standard repertoire for the processing of any type of composite materials.
LACH DIAMANT tools are highly innovative, work with highest precision and increase economic efficiency by a multiple. We offer a wide variety of uses on all current machines in wind turbine and rotorblade processing: CNC, robotic and manual milling machines.
For more than 20 years the LACH DIAMANT engineers have been working with the challenging material and with their experience and intuition – have supported the wind power industry in becoming „greener“:
Innovation: PCD drills with internal exhaustion for a dust-free and precise drilling operation.
Tools with diamond or PCD ensure a precise processing of this highly abrasive material and with maximum infeed, tool lives and reduced production cycle times.
The economic efficiency of diamond tools in this processing step is out of reach for carbide tools.
With only one Ø 64 mm drill 400 rotorblades were processed – each with 80 drill holes, 130 mm deep.
» This one drill has processed rotorblades for an entire wind farm of 133 wind turbines.
PCD-tipped cutting saws
Cutting saws with diamond coating
The LACH DIAMANT high-performance face milling cutters allow maximum face milling accuracy with a low degree of delamination. High feed rates reduce machining times by a multiple. Internal coolant channels for longer tool lives of the high-performance cutting tools. The PCD cutting edges can be re-sharpend and/or re-tipped with PCD several times.
Also LACH DIAMANT solid drills with PCD cutting edges allow delamination-free bore entrances and outlets.
The extra-hard cutting material allows maximum feed rates reducing production times by a multiple. Internal coolant channels for longer tool lives. The PCD cutting edges can be resharpend and/or re-tipped with PCD several times.
Besides the production of the above mentioned tools we develop customised solutions for your specific application. Special dimensions are manufactured according to your requests and requirements.
