Lach Diamond, will present a global innovation for HSC aluminum cutting: PCD Monoblock Cutter, Cool Injection-Plus, at IMTS - The International Manufacturing Technology Show, at McCormick Palace, Chicago, during September 8-13, 2014. The Cool Injection-Plus PCD cutter is developed in cooperation with the AUDI AG. This represents a combination of the by Lach Diamant developed and patented 'Cool Injection' cooling system (Patent EP 2266739) and the 'Plus', a chip controller for the HSC cutting of aluminum patented by the AUDI AG.

The solution to combine the directed cooling stream through the PCD cutting surface with the chip control 'Plus' into one tool proved to be ideal for manufacturing. Now the extreme high cutting speeds and feed rates for HSC cutting can be applied successfully.

Cool Injection-Plus Monoblock cutters can be manufactured with the highest possible PCD number of cutting edges because the chips produced during cutting can immediately be led away from the cutting zone. It is understandable that during machining the work piece and the PCD cutting edge both profit, once by the maximum possible surface quality and accuracy and again by the maximum tool life of the PCD cutter. Result: The chips now do not have to be "cut" several times.

By the newly developed PCD Monoblock cutter 'Cool Injection-Plus' cycle time reductions of more than 50% have been achieved by the automobile industry especially in engine and transmission manufacturing.
