Vollmer of America Corp. announced the development of the QXD200 machine for finishing polycrystalline diamond tools.
Vollmer of America added the QXD200 machine for finishing PCD tools to its product offerings.
By combining rotary erosion capability with grinding wheels for fluting on helical tools, the QXD200 enables a complete drill bit or end mill to be processed in one machine setup, according to the company. QXD200 features six programmable axes, a six-position tool changer and three options for tool delivery with capacities up to 64 tools. The machine's offline simulation creates a 3-D model that can be incorporated into other software packages for verification of end results on tool geometry, Vollmer says.
