In aerospace, composites parts - which are mostly in the form of carbon fiber with epoxy polymer (CFRP), exist in many parts of the airplane body, such as: fuselage, wings, vertical & horizontal stabilizers, doors, covers, constructive beams etc.
Due to their abrasive characteristics, composite materials are mostly machined with PCD and CVD diamond tools, to achieve higher wear resistance and prolonged tool life that is a feature of PCD tools.
Telcon Diamond Ltd. is a world leading manufacturer of Diamond PCD and CVD cutting tools for the machining of composite materials: CFRP, GFRP, MMC, CMC and hard ceramics. TELCON produces a wide range of tools used by many of the world’s leaders in the field including Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed-Martin, Spirit, ATK, Embraer, Denel, ELBIT and IAI. Telcon’s tools include: PCD tipped Drills, CVD diamond drills, Carbide drills, PCD Countersinks, Carbide tipped Countersinks, PCD tipped End Mills and CVD diamond End Mills and Carbide End Mills.
