HIGH-PRECISION GRINDING FOR AEROSPACE & DEFENSE INDUSTRIES
Flying today, whether you’re an airline passenger, a fighter pilot or an astronaut, is safer than it has ever been, despite the fact that we’re flying faster, further and higher than ever before. Great strides in aeronautics have been made possible in large part by the development of stronger, lighter materials and the tools to shape them.
Knight Carbide is a favored supplier of aerospace and defense contractors, providing them with the close-tolerance, high-performance grinding tools they need to work with challenging materials like titanium and Inconel.
PRECISION MILLING AND TURNING
On the floor at the Knight Carbide machine shop, you will find our Ewag Ewamatic, a versatile, small-tool grinder for threading inserts, grooving inserts and form tools. The Ewag is capable of performing multiple functions in producing carbide inserts with features such as multiple clearance angles, radii, top rakes and T lands in a single clamping.
Also on deck is our Wendt Alpha, a periphery grinder with powerful CNC control, flexible programming language, automatic loading and measuring for producing complex milling inserts to precise specifications. With these and other state-of-the-art equipment and the exemplary staff to run them, Knight Carbide produces tools with the precise geometries and features required by our aerospace and defense clients.
WITH OUR CUSTOM TOOL INSERTS, QUALITY IS BUILT RIGHT IN
There are many reasons to tool with Knight Carbide, not the least of which is our proven expertise in designing and producing exceptional custom tool inserts for complex, close-tolerance applications in the most challenging materials. Experience ideal performance in turning and milling, threading and finishing, even at the high temperatures common in working with aerospace alloys. Knight Carbide custom inserts are engineered to precise geometries in any grade carbide and cermet, with or without PVD coating, to deliver the performance required while maximizing efficiency and tool life.
HIGH-PRECISION, CLOSE-TOLERANCE TOOL INSERTS FOR AEROSPACE
Knight Carbide can control the size of our milling inserts to +/- .0002 inches, enabling tool cutters to run more smoothly and efficiently. Our milling inserts are precision-ground for applications in a wide range of manufacturing styles, including negative, positive, negative-positive, on-edge and form generating.
Close tolerances in hard-to-cut, high-temperature alloys, and with strict government standards and regulations throughout the manufacturing process–these are some of the special considerations that make the aerospace and defense sectors challenging for some, and exciting for Knight Carbide. Bring us your most complex tooling applications and let us solve them with our signature skill and innovation.
