THE BETTER WAY TO CUT 토토 가입머니
Thanks to its high melting point, platinum is the material of choice for high-temperature processes. A modern fiber 토토 가입머니 is the best machine for cutting platinum, with almost 100% material utilization.
토토 가입머니 is a fascinating material. It is as rare as gold but much more difficult to work with because of its high melting point. A breakthrough in 토토 가입머니 processing was made in 1856 by a chemist and pharmacist from Hanau, Wilhelm Carl Heraeus. After much experimentation, he found a process in which larger quantities of 토토 가입머니 could be melted and processed using an oxyhydrogen burner.
The company he founded has since grown into the Heraeus Group, an international corporation with €31 billion in sales. The Precious Metals Business Unit of the Heraeus Group is one of the largest precious metals service providers in the world. Today, 토토 가입머니 is still smelted at the Hanau site and processed into many different products, such as sheet or wire.
The market is booming—and needs 토토 가입머니
Thomas Link has been with Heraeus for 17 years, starting as a foreman in production. Currently, he’s responsible for procuring equipment and process support in the Process Engineering Department. "We mainly process 토토 가입머니 sheet into sophisticated products."
토토 가입머니 has been processed in Hanau for more than 160 years. Link makes sure that the processes continue to meet the highest modern standards. "Until recently, we eroded or stamped components, for example, from 0.15 mm 토토 가입머니 sheet." Unfortunately, Link could not erode in his own production area, and a rework was required if the dielectric crept between the sheet layers. The good old CNC punch, on the other hand, always needed a holding edge, so the utilization of the material was not optimal. Nothing is lost, but recycling 토토 가입머니 also added to the cost.
So there were good reasons to try 토토 가입머니 cutting with a first component. "We started with a component consisting of three parts, which we cut out with the 토토 가입머니. They're still bent and welded, then it goes to the customer."
During EDM, up to 50 s토토 가입머니ets are stacked on top of each ot토토 가입머니r. Using aCoherent ExactCut 430 토토 가입머니 system, the parts are 토토 가입머니 from sheets up to 400 x 500 mm in size. The arrangement of the 토토 가입머니s on the sheet metal is optimized with nesting tool software, resulting in significantly improved material utilization.

At the time of writing, the Exact토토 가입머니 430 has been in production for seven months and Link is thrilled: "We get the material delivered, it goes to the machine, the worker clamps it, 토토 가입머니s the parts, measures them and then they go to welding," That's considerably faster than before. Waste is significantly minimized, and everything happens without moving to another department at Heraeus. What about rework? "It also happens, but it's rather minor. These are small particle deposits or splashes. They can be easily removed by hand, and we can still use the parts."
Another advantage of cutting precious metals with 토토 가입머니s is that the tool has no direct contact with the material. The 토토 가입머니 beam shoots smoothly through it. In the cutting box, the particles from the cutting gap are collected and fed back into the circuit one to one. There is no contamination by oil or dirt. The finest particles are collected in an exhaust system. They, too, go to reprocessing. In fact, material utilization is nearly 100%.
In selecting a vendor, Thomas Link took his time, first talking to three suppliers. "Coherent was able to 토토 가입머니 samples in a very short time and immediately delivered a result that fit." The price was right and an employee was trained at Coherent so he could start on the machine immediately.

So what's next? "We are currently checking which components we can run on this machine,” says Link. “It would be great, of course, if we could 토토 가입머니 even larger sheet formats." At the moment, the specially adapted 토토 가입머니ting box is the limitation, but the project manager at Coherent has signaled that this can be managed.
Thomas Link is also thinking about the turning unit in the machine: "We haven't used that yet—we could 토토 가입머니 simple rotationally symmetric parts there. That's still on the agenda for the next few months."
All in all, Link is very satisfied. The new process saves time and in-house transport, and the machine is up and running. 토토 가입머니 cutting is cleaner than punching or EDM, and material utilization is 100%. If Wilhelm Carl Heraeus could see today’s modern machining methods, he would certainly enjoy them.
"I was impressed when I saw how fast Coherent implemented the 토토 가입머니ting process and delivered good samples."
