DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) Thin-Film Coating for Non-Ferrous & Plastics Guide

Q: What is the key manufacturing advantage of DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) Thin-Film Coating for Non-Ferrous & Plastics?

Prevents gummy aluminum and copper chips from welding to cutting edges, delivering mirror finishes without chemical coolants.

Q: How does UCAN ROBOT verify toolholder and cutter balance?

All rotating tool assemblies are pre-balanced on dynamic balancing machines to ISO 1940 G2.5 at 25,000 RPM to protect spindle bearings.
