HIGHLAND CARBIDE SUCCESS STORY
One
success Highland Carbide recently made was to convert a brazed tool to a Toolholder
and indexable insert for a company that machines a high volume of forged
metal castings. Their customer called to review the tooling and
application. They discovered that the tool body could be improved with a
better design, and that they could drastically improve strength and tool
life by going with a heat treated Tool holder and a coated insert.
The
result was a win-win… higher production rates, with a lower overall
tooling cost and significantly less downtime. At Highland Carbide, significant improvements have come in designing custom
Toolholders for specific applications. They can improve geometries to
increase the strength and effectiveness of the tool, and pair it with
any insert on the market.
