In industries such as medical technology, electromobility and electronics, machining processes demand the highest level of precision and reliability. Cemecon meets these challenges with customized premium coatings developed through a collaborative engineering process — ensuring that every tool is perfectly matched to its application.

When tool manufacturers seek to improve performance, differentiate from competitors, or optimize production processes, Cemecon becomes a strategic partner. Whether it’s launching a new tool or enhancing an existing one, the company’s customers rely on its engineering expertise to create coatings tailored to specific requirements.

The process begins with a detailed analysis of machining tasks, tool geometry, and workpiece materials. Based on this, Cemecon defines coating parameters — such as material composition, thickness, tolerances, and finishing. The company combines and adapts the process steps intelligently and work closely with our customers throughout. Sampling plays a key role: tools are coated with different variants and tested under real machining conditions until the ideal solution is found.

A central component of this engineering approach is precise coating analysis. Stephan Geisen, expert in materials testing at Cemecon, ensures that coatings consistently meet the highest standards. “Our customers expect consistently high quality, and to achieve this we need to know every detail of the coating. Among other things, we measure the coating thickness, analyze the roughness of the surface and check the mechanical properties such as hardness and adhesion.”

State-of-the-art measuring instruments, such as Zeiss scanning electron microscopes and Anton Paar nano hardness testers, make even the finest structures visible and measurable. These insights are directly integrated into the engineering process. All validated parameters are digitally stored to ensure consistent reproduction worldwide — a key advantage for global tool manufacturers.

Cemecon’s engineering success is based on close customer collaboration and an iterative development process. Tool manufacturers and end users are involved from the outset. The individual premium coating is adapted precisely to the requirements in a joint engineering process. The result: custom-engineered premium coatings that significantly improve performance, tool life, and process stability.
