Since the first patent application for the laser-manufactured chip breaker type CO (Patent EP 1023961) in January 1999, LACH DIAMOND succeeded in another quantum leap innovation.

This sensational invention shows solutions for all aluminum machining – aluminum wrought alloys and copper alloys – as well as during use of MQL – which would not be possible with traditional laser-manufactured PCD chip breakers.

An example are chip breaker models, only recently described as state-of-the-art, which create chip breaking from feed rates only above 1.0 mm.

The new invention of the diamond chip breaker type 3D-active appears to be an all-rounder with, so to speak, titanic powers.

During fine finishing, type 3D-active will reliably generate chip breaking – even with a feed of 0.1 mm (!) – and is therefore ideal as active chip breaker for machining thin-walled or unstable components. Roughing with a feed of up to 5 mm – depending on the size of the diamond cutting edge.

There will be no heat development, even at maximal use, due to the special construction.

Recommended cutting speeds are 800 – 2500 m/min with feeds of 0.05 – 0.3 mm/R.

The new developed diamond chip breaker Type 3D-active has been applied for patent.
