Oerlikon Balzers' range of services covers high-quality coatings for high-performance tools and now includes digital services that simplify and accelerate many processes – from ordering through coating to delivery to the customer.
The new INNOVENTA kila PVD coating system from Oerlikon Balzers offers even more flexibility, productivity und connectivity than its successful predecessor INNOVA.
Specially designed for threading tools, the high-performance BALIQ AUROS coating is extremely smooth and wear-resistant to ensure even greater process stability.
With the theme of "Follow the flow of smart coating services", Oerlikon Balzers will guide EMO 2019 visitors through the digital world of coating service processes and outstanding industrial solutions that make its services even better for its customers.
Digital services – easier, faster, more reliable
The new “myBalzers” customer portal offers digital services which significantly simplify and accelerate order processing, including logistics sequences such as door-to-door tracking and document management.
Oerlikon Balzers will be introducing a digital solution for coating workflows: a "digital twin" of a cutting tool that allows relevant data such as the coating used, the number of reconditioning cycles, quality and measurement protocols to be stored. This full tool history transparency will in future enable connected and automated reconditioning workflows, giving customers a number of key advantages.
Also being showcased is a specially developed app that helps Oerlikon Balzers experts respond in real time to questions about a coating system or coating services. The app helps queries to be resolved quickly and reliably, so that customers benefit from even faster response times and optimised coating system availability.
Next-generation PVD equipment
The INNOVENTA kila, the successor to the successful INNOVA model, is the right size for its target market and is perfect for the production requirements of tools and components in quantities both large and small. It offers even better performance and new features which boost productivity for customers.
New high-performance coating for threading tools and additional services
For high-quality threading tools, Oerlikon Balzers will present the new high-performance BALIQ AUROS coating. This extremely smooth and wear-resistant AlCrN-based coating is combined with a top coating to prevent the tool surface from welding with the workpiece material, which improves performance and ensures high process reliability.
