Tungsten Carbide Wear Parts

Pick any product and you wish if it would have given more life. Wear and tear is natural time bound process. Time to time different composition of material has given comparatively better life. Even composite materials are also being used.

Tungsten Carbide is the one which was used by industry as cutting tool material for its better wear resistence, but was supposed to be too brittle to be used as wear resistant part.

Now Tungsten Carbide is available with hardness of as low as 700 Hv compared to 1400/1600 Hv of yesteryears.

Electronica-Tough Carb is adding day by day newer grades to cater vast spectrum of wear parts users.

Advance Portfolio Technologies- CMM







Rapid industrial growth around the world is forcing manufactures to adopt newer technologies so that any new concept may be converted in to product at much faster pace. May be to eliminate, reduce unwanted competition at initial stage of development of product.

Any product constitutes of various small components. Change in component design or copying existing component, requires detail study of measurements and machineablity. Conventional measuring methods are time consuming, resulting in precious man hour loses and delayed launch of products.

Micro-Vu Corporation is probably offering solution. Using Automated Vision System, Manual Video System and Optical Comparators.These non-contact and contact measurement system use video and touch probe inputs to perform high precision 2D and 3D measurements.
