TNGN solid CBN turning insert, solid pcbn inserts

The cost of using solid cbn inserts is around 5 to 6 percent of total machining costs. That may seem expensive when you consider cost only. However, when you consider the entire application, pcbn inserts pay for themselves in terms of added good parts per shift and shorter cycle times. Less expensive inserts will cost time and labor in replacing and indexing them more frequently in addition to product production. There is always a trade-off so it pays to have a good understanding of insert performance, cycle time and production throughput.

Brake disc machining uses cbn tooling inserts that can increase the tool life to over 2,000 brake discs. Transmission gears manufacturing uses cbn machining inserts that are used in the soft turning and gear milling processes. They are also used in the finish-turning hardened transmission components.

solid cbn inserts for cast iron turning. Cast iron has superior durability and is used in machine tools and agricultural machinery parts. cbn inserts for cast iron have an overwhelmingly high wear resistance and fracture resistance and achieves high speed and high efficiency turning for cast iron.

There are many applications within these broad categories for cbn inserts. Some applications are cylinder boring in automotive engine blocks. cbn turning inserts are used for this application. Using cbn turning inserts in cylinder boring has been shown to increase output up to 4,000 pieces.
