To meet the increasing utilization of super hard materials in today’s production processes, notably aerospace, Agathon (Bethel, CT) has introduced the Neo Roughing Laser for accelerated processing rates, and overall indexable insert production savings. The Neo has 3 mechanical axes and 3 optical axes for processing the periphery, clearance angles and chip breakers. Easy to use without prior laser processing knowledge, the Neo Roughing Laser offers ultra-compact design, easy accessibility and overall user-friendly ergonomics as well as thermally stabilized construction for sustained production operations. The Neo Roughing Laser produces 100-fold higher material removal rates compared to grinding, leaving the PCD product just a few hundredths of a millimeter away from the final dimension where a finishing grinding machine can complete the process, thereby providing an effective PCD processing time reduction up to 60%.
