Announcement of New Product Release: "Zhuzhou Tool DLC Coated End Mill ALU Series" will reduce tool costs by approximately 30%!

New product made of aluminum alloy with DLC coating, designed for non-ferrous metals! Tool costs can be reduced by about 30% compared to Japanese manufacturers!

Zhuzhou Tool is the largest carbide tool manufacturer in China, and it has been adopted by major automobile companies in Japan for over 10 years, with sales records to more than 2,000 customers nationwide. In February 2023, we launched our new product, the "DLC Coated End Mill, ALU Series," in Japan. The DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating serves as an intermediate film between diamond and graphite. With a low wear coefficient and excellent surface smoothness, it is ideal for machining aluminum alloys and non-ferrous metals where wear resistance and lubricity are required. Additionally, it achieves excellent cutting performance and suppresses burrs, resulting in superior machined surfaces. Product Features: ◆ Unequal pitch design that suppresses vibration and enhances machining stability ◆ Special flute design that accommodates high-speed machining, rough machining, and finishing ◆ Newly developed coating that balances cutting performance and wear resistance We confidently propose the high-precision and low-cost Zhuzhou Tool's DLC Coated End Mill ALU Series! *Stock is available at our Japanese distributor, Kyoni Co., Ltd. *Please view the catalog from the download below.

The time for celebration has come! The new production hall has started operations! While finishing work continues in other parts of the building, metal shavings are already being produced in the first machining center. Last Friday afternoon, employees and their families, along with companies involved in the construction, gathered to celebrate the achievements so far. Cold drinks, hot barbecue, and an ice cream stand were provided. During the celebration, many employees had the opportunity to tour the entire new building for the first time. Visitors were introduced to the new machines and improved logistics through guided tours of the production area. The new training room, the training center on the upper floor, and the latest conference room for customers were also unveiled. With this new building, Volkmann GmbH has secured an additional 4,500 square meters of production space. This expansion was very important, as the existing hall had already reached its limits due to the company's ongoing growth and increased production volume.

▶Issue: Before further processing the powder in the next stage (such as packaging machines), it is necessary to inspect for the presence of metal foreign objects using a metal detector. To achieve high sensitivity, the powder needs to be inspected through free fall, but due to low ceiling height and operational inconvenience, it is not possible to install the metal detector in the next stage. ▶Solution: The CEIA metal detector will be installed under a Volkmann vacuum conveyor and on a Volkmann mobile lift. The height-adjustable lift will allow the product discharge outlet of the metal detector to be adjusted to the appropriate height for the mobile container. Additionally, the vacuum conveyor can be lowered to a height that allows the mobile lift to pass through doors. The powder will be transported, for example, from an IBC container to the mobile lift and then to the metal detector via vacuum transfer. Metal foreign objects will be sorted and collected in a separate bottle. The inspected powder will be collected in a mobile container. Another vacuum conveyor is installed for the next stage, such as the packaging machine, from which the powder will be drawn from this container. Inspection and separation of metal parts can be conducted very close to the next stage, and it is also possible in more distant production areas.

The video shows that there is a tank at the bottom of the vacuum conveyor, and steam is constantly being released (in a simulated manner). If no measures are taken, the steam will enter the inside of the vacuum conveyor, condense into water droplets, and cause powder adhesion. Both our company and our customers have been troubled by such installations. This time, with the special module jointly developed with Minato Engineering Co., Ltd., we have succeeded in blocking the rising steam. From around the middle of the video, you can see that this function is turned on. You should be able to understand that the steam that was previously rising has disappeared. As a result, it has become possible to install equipment in a steam atmosphere, which was previously difficult to do, with peace of mind.
