AWARD WINNING TECHNOLOGY
This breakthrough in coating technology won the Innovation Award for Baden-Württemberg Innovation Prize 2021
EXTREMELY EXTENDED LIFETIMES
The improved surface of the coating from laser-sharpening results in lifetimes not seen on this planet
NO SACRIFICE FOR SURFACE FINISH
Perfectly-sharp edges mean there is no more need to decide between coating or mirror surfaces
CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY: THE PREDATOR SERIES
Finally the innovation in coating technology that you've been waiting for. Introducing The Predator Series, featuring FLATCOAT® LZR technology.
No longer do you need to choose between surface finish or coated tools. This in-house developed technology uses lasers to sharpen the edges, making a perfectly sharp cutting edge. This improvement in the coating not only greatly improves the surface finish compared to other coatings, but thanks to the process creating a perfectly uniform coating, it extends the lifetime of the tool to ridiculous lengths. Seriously, if we told you how much longer you wouldn't believe us.
AFTER 10 YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT...
IT'S FINALLY HERE!
The idea of sharpening a diamond coating has been a sort of 'holy grail' for us for over 10 years. Years of testing different methods did not lead to the results we were looking for...that's until laser technology advanced far enough that it's now become a possibility.
The first step was mastering the technology on flat cutting edges, and now our mad scientists have developed this technique further to be able to sharpen all the complex geometries in our portfolio.
This is truly cutting-edge technology for cutting edges...
SEE IT IN ACTION
Recently we took a trip down to Zecha to show the tools in action, and met our friend Marvin (@marvgro on Instagram) there who designed and milled our logo as a copper electrode.
It's the first in our series where we go old-school and travel to different places to see the tools in action...a series we're calling 'Aliens on Tour'.
STAR OF THE 'IGUANA MILLING CHALLENGE'
The Predator Series is called 'Iguana Tools' in Zecha's nomenclature, and being that they're the same tools they faced the same problem: that is that nobody believed how long the tool lasted.
So we came up with a plan to load our machine up with one tool with this coating and let it run for as long as it could. We partnered up with some of the biggest names in the industry, and did it all on a non-stop livestream.
