The CT decoating units from PLATIT set new standards in decoating, especially for carbide tools. The problem of cobalt leaching is avoided by coating the substrate with a TiN adhesive layer, since the decoating process of the CT systems does not attack the TiN adhesive layer and thus protects the substrate.
With the CT20, the decoating cycle through to the TiN adhesion layer takes less than three minutes. The end of this process is automatically detected and terminated by the built-in electronics. The adhesive layer is not removed and consequently “overcoated” after regrinding and pre-treatment. This means that tools will achieve a service life comparable to that of a new tool.
The CT20 is PLATIT’s patented, environmentally friendly, wet-chemical carbide decoating unit.
Decoating unit CT20
The world’s fastest decoating process: Decoating time is less than 3 minutes to the TiN adhesion layer and the decoating cycle stops automatically at the TiN adhesion layer
A single recipe for a wide variety of nitride coatings with TiN adhesion layer, regardless of tool sizes
Allows multiple coatings to be removed
Special holders for shank tools, hobs, inserts, etc. prevent uncoated areas from being attacked
Tool dimensions: max. ø200 x 250mm
Use of chemicals that are available worldwide
The process takes place at room temperature, so no heating or cooling is required
The end of the process is automatically detected, which greatly simplifies the operator’s daily practice
