Contract Edge Preparation Services

For years, tooling has been sent to companies like Balzers for the application of specialty coatings. Since the coating application process requires highly specialized equipment, many tool users and producers have selected to have their tools "toll coated". Based on customer requests, Conicity offers a similar service to users as well as tool fabricators.

Advantages

No Capital Expenditure
By outsourcing edge preparation services, customers can receive all of the benefits of Conicity’s precision EMG™ technology without spending capital on new equipment. Since turnaround time on most orders is less than 24 hours, lead times do not have to be significantly extended.

Win New Business
Tool fabricators often use Conicity’s edge prep services to help them win new customers. Since EMG can have such a dramatic impact on tool performance, it can make the difference between success and failure in head-to-head testing against competition.

Lower Production Costs
Most companies which perform high volume machining have a few tools or operations which cause nightmares for reasons of cost or quality. In many cases, these problems can be resolved by designing an EMG which reduces cutting forces and temperatures in critical areas. Using Conicity’s contract edge prep services is a fast and easy solution to major production problems.
