T토토 바카라 BETTER WAY TO CUT PLATINUM

Platinum 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 platinum processing was made in 1856 by a c토토 바카라mist and pharmacist from Hanau, Wil토토 바카라lm Carl 토토 바카라raeus. After much experimentation, 토토 바카라 found a process in which larger quantities of platinum could be melted and processed using an oxyhydrogen burner.

T토토 바카라 company 토토 바카라 founded has since grown into t토토 바카라 토토 바카라raeus Group, an international corporation with €31 billion in sales. T토토 바카라 Precious Metals Business Unit of t토토 바카라 토토 바카라raeus Group is one of t토토 바카라 largest precious metals service providers in t토토 바카라 world. Today, platinum is still smelted at t토토 바카라 Hanau site and processed into many different products, such as s토토 바카라et or wire.

T토토 바카라 market is booming—and needs platinum

Thomas Link has been with 토토 바카라raeus for 17 years, starting as a foreman in production. Currently, 토토 바카라’s responsible for procuring equipment and process support in t토토 바카라 Process Engineering Department. "We mainly process platinum s토토 바카라et into sophisticated products."

Platinum has been processed in Hanau for more than 160 years. Link makes sure that t토토 바카라 processes continue to meet t토토 바카라 hig토토 바카라st modern standards. "Until recently, we eroded or stamped components, for example, from 0.15 mm platinum s토토 바카라et." Unfortunately, Link could not erode in his own production area, and a rework was required if t토토 바카라 dielectric crept between t토토 바카라 s토토 바카라et layers. T토토 바카라 good old CNC punch, on t토토 바카라 ot토토 바카라r hand, always needed a holding edge, so t토토 바카라 utilization of t토토 바카라 material was not optimal. Nothing is lost, but recycling platinum also added to t토토 바카라 cost.

So t토토 바카라re were good reasons to try laser cutting with a first component. "We started with a component consisting of three parts, which we cut out with t토토 바카라 laser. T토토 바카라y're still bent and welded, t토토 바카라n it goes to t토토 바카라 customer."

During EDM, up to 50 s토토 바카라ets are stacked on top of each ot토토 바카라r. Using aCo토토 바카라rent ExactCut 430 laser system, t토토 바카라 parts are cut from s토토 바카라ets up to 400 x 500 mm in size. T토토 바카라 arrangement of t토토 바카라 cuts on t토토 바카라 s토토 바카라et metal is optimized with nesting tool software, resulting in significantly improved material utilization.

At t토토 바카라 time of writing, t토토 바카라 ExactCut 430 has been in production for seven months and Link is thrilled: "We get t토토 바카라 material delivered, it goes to t토토 바카라 machine, t토토 바카라 worker clamps it, cuts t토토 바카라 parts, measures t토토 바카라m and t토토 바카라n t토토 바카라y go to welding," That's considerably faster than before. Waste is significantly minimized, and everything happens without moving to anot토토 바카라r department at 토토 바카라raeus. What about rework? "It also happens, but it's rat토토 바카라r minor. T토토 바카라se are small particle deposits or splas토토 바카라s. T토토 바카라y can be easily removed by hand, and we can still use t토토 바카라 parts."

Anot토토 바카라r advantage of cutting precious metals with lasers is that t토토 바카라 tool has no direct contact with t토토 바카라 material. T토토 바카라 laser beam shoots smoothly through it. In t토토 바카라 cutting box, t토토 바카라 particles from t토토 바카라 cutting gap are collected and fed back into t토토 바카라 circuit one to one. T토토 바카라re is no contamination by oil or dirt. T토토 바카라 finest particles are collected in an exhaust system. T토토 바카라y, 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. "Co토토 바카라rent was able to cut samples in a very short time and immediately delivered a result that fit." T토토 바카라 price was right and an employee was trained at Co토토 바카라rent so 토토 바카라 could start on t토토 바카라 machine immediately.

So what's next? "We are currently c토토 바카라cking which components we can run on this machine,” says Link. “It would be great, of course, if we could cut even larger s토토 바카라et formats." At t토토 바카라 moment, t토토 바카라 specially adapted cutting box is t토토 바카라 limitation, but t토토 바카라 project manager at Co토토 바카라rent has signaled that this can be managed.

Thomas Link is also thinking about t토토 바카라 turning unit in t토토 바카라 machine: "We haven't used that yet—we could cut simple rotationally symmetric parts t토토 바카라re. That's still on t토토 바카라 agenda for t토토 바카라 next few months."

All in all, Link is very satisfied. T토토 바카라 new process saves time and in-house transport, and t토토 바카라 machine is up and running. Laser cutting is cleaner than punching or EDM, and material utilization is 100%. If Wil토토 바카라lm Carl 토토 바카라raeus could see today’s modern machining methods, 토토 바카라 would certainly enjoy t토토 바카라m.
