The Ddhm System
Horn presents DDHM, its CVD diamond-tipped tool system for cost-effective drilling and countersinking of sintered carbides and ceramics with a hardness of up to 3,000 HV.
With the launch of this drilling and milling system, Horn is further expanding its range of products for machining fully sintered carbides. As they allow machining to take place on conventional milling or turning centres, these tools do away with costly and time-consuming grinding and eroding processes. There is also an opportunity for savings, as investment in expensive new machinery can potentially be avoided.The DDHM system is particularly aimed at customers in the tool and die making sector owing to its ability to machine carbide punches and dies efficiently. However, the tool system also offers significant advantages in other areas, including the medical and aerospace sectors, the automotive industry, and in punching, forging and forming technology.
The diamond tools enable shorter throughput times, high surface quality, lower overall costs, greater flexibility within the production process and longer tool life.
The drills can be used for producing holes in solid material to a maximum depth of ten times the diameter. The CVD-D-tipped drills have a two-edged design and are available in diameters ranging from 2 mm (0.079") to 10 mm (0.394"). All versions feature an internal coolant supply.
Horn offers the CVD-D end mill from stock for chamfering and countersinking with diameters of 3 mm (0.118") and 6 mm (0.236") and with flank angles of 15, 30 and 45 degrees. The 3 mm (0.118") version has five teeth while the 6 mm (0.236") version has six.
