Carbide deposition
Carbide deposition for use in the machining sector
Carbide deposition is a highly specific additional activity in which ROCH Mécanique has extensive experience. It is a process designed and developed to increase the performance and lifespan of your clamping tools. It involves a granular deposit of tungsten carbide applied in molten form. It can be carried out on all types of clamps from Ø4mm and steel or aluminium jaws. Carbide deposition is applied to the desired surface and reduces the number of contact points to improve clamping performance. We are in the business of providing solutions, and our years of experience have taught us that we can always find a way to solve any problem. We are confident that we can provide you with the solution you need. We invite you to discover more about our expertise and products for carbide deposition.
Carbide deposition advantages
The carbide deposition process eliminates slippage between the component and the clamping device. It allows you to increase your cutting conditions whilst taking full advantage of the performance of current production means (tools and high-performance machines). Carbide deposition also reduces vibration and increases the service life of your tools. It allows you to consider machining operations with a minimal clamping area and replaces standard solutions (inserts, jaws or grippers). It also provides solutions for high-speed component handling by robots.
Applications for carbide deposition
- Multi-spindle turning (collets and bar feed collets)
- Transfer machine gripper (equipment for clamping or gripping parts is often limited to the amount of clamping force)
- Milling on machining centres
- Robotic grippers to enable completion of high-speed transfer without the risk of pieces flying off
In the heart of the Vallée de l’Arve, our location is home to numerous machining operators whose clamping equipment we have been providing for ten years.
