Type diamond burnishing tool

Diamond-burnishing tools expand the range of applications of roller burnishing technology, as even hardened materials up to approximately 60 HRC can be roller burnished.
In the process, a high-precision, micropolished diamond glides over the surface. As soon as the yield point of the material is exceeded, the profile peaks of the workpiece surface flow into the adjacent recesses in the µm range.
Compared to the machining by means of rollers, the contact area between the workpiece and the diamond is much smaller. Therefore, plastic cold working with a reduced influence of force can take place. Baublies diamond roller burnishing tools advance into hardness and diameter areas in which conventional roller burnishing tools cannot be used due to the workpiece characteristics or geometry. With diamond-burnishing tools, all contours – internally and externally – can be roller-burnished and deep-rolled.

ADVANTAGES

• Maximum process reliability
• Top surface qualities
• Harder outer layers
• Smoothing of hardened components
• No need for additional equipment such as hydraulic units
• Increase in fatigue strength
• Larger contact area ratios due to plateau formation
• Higher surface resistance to wear and corrosion
• Expanding of material fatigue limits
• Reduced sliding friction coefficients

DEEP ROLLING AND DIAMOND BURNISHING DIAMONDS – QUALITY FROM OUR OWN PRODUCTION

At Baublies, we are committed to the highest precision and quality – that›s why we manufacture our own pressing and smoothing diamonds. As a manufacturer, we have the know-how and expertise to produce (grind) diamonds that are optimally integrated into our burnishing tools. For you, this means reliable, durable diamonds that are precisely matched to our tools – for the best results when working. Trust in the quality that only Baublies as a manufacturer can offer directly.

ADVANTAGES

Go to diamond burnishing tools

Small, fine and in excellent Baublies quality: these are the new burnishing tools that we have developed especially for filigree applications. We have optimized our many years of know-how in diamond burnishing for the machining of small precision parts and thin-walled workpieces in a compact form.

RANGE OF APPLICATION OF THE COLIBRI SERIE

Diamond burnishing tools from the COLIBRI series are always optimally suitable when the peak-to-valley height of filigree workpieces is to be minimized and at the same time the strength is to be increased.  

Typical application areas are:

• Components for medical devices and the optical industry
• Connecting elements for aerospace and automotive technology
• As well as other compact precision parts in which surface quality plays a crucial role

THE DIAMOND

The diamond is a mineral consisting of pure cubic crystallized carbon. The chemical bonding of the carbon atoms makes the diamond the hardest known material. Thus the diamond is the only mineral to receive level 10 on the Mohs scale, which describes the scratch
hardness of a mineral. The carbon atoms are connected in a regular crystal lattice and form the typical octahedron, dodecahedron or cube shape of a diamond with curved surfaces and rounded tips. The weight of a diamond is measured in carats, the weight unit for gems.

1 carat = 0,2 g

Struktur eines Diamanten

ORIGIN

Natural diamonds are formed from graphite in an endothermic reaction deep inside the earth at temperatures of 1250–1500 °C and enormous pressure. Diamonds are found in kimberlite, the so-called parent rock, which is brought to the earth‘s surface by volcanic activity.

APPLICATION

Different types of diamonds can be used in industrial applications. In addition to the careful selection of the right diamond for the respective area of application, precise grinding is also important to ensure a long service life and the best possible results.
