Jewellery news asia Gold Technic Ice Lathe Tool Feature Dec 2016
Our new customised ice lathe tool is featured on Jewellery News Asia. Aisa’s leading magazine for the jewellery and gem industry.
Our latest product is the custom made ice lathe diamond tool. The ice lathe diamond tool is used in precision cutting of gold chain on the fully automatic multi tool CNC ice lathe. The gold chain is embedded in ice, frozen and positioned onto a spinning drum. As the drum spins, the diamond tool will cut the gold chain leaving behind a very shiny surface. In this method of production, it is crucial that the diamond tool is sharp and precision made to process multiple chain in a single icing session. Each tool is fitted on a multi tool tool head and tools can be changed automatically according to the pre-set program. Up to three diamond tools work simultaneously, removing three times as much material per pass, and there is no downtime due to empty passes.
The consistency of our diamond tools is crucial application on multi tool CNC machine as it reduces machine downtime due to tool failure and variation in tool length and size. All our tool shanks are cnc machined to ensure that tolerance is kept to a minimum of +/-0.01mm.
The quality of the diamond used will affect the lifespan on the lathe tool, therefore, we assure customers that only the best stones are selected to construct the ice lathe tool.
