Case Studies: Real Results with CDFIT Tools
How manufacturers across semiconductors, automotive, gears, glass, carbide and stone cut costs, extend tool life and improve finish with CDFIT diamond & CBN superhard tools. Results shown are representative of typical outcomes — every application is engineered to your process.
Applications We’ve Solved
From wafer back-grinding to granite polishing, our engineers match bond, grit and concentration to your workpiece and machine.
Wafer Back Grinding: 40% Longer Wheel Life
A Taiwan OSAT plant replaced a generic resin-bond wheel with our CDFIT vitrified-bond diamond wheel for wafer back grinding. By matching grit size and bond hardness to their silicon thickness, wheel life increased 40% and surface finish improved to Ra 0.15µm.
Crankshaft Grinding: Cycle Time Cut by 22%
An Indian crankshaft re-manufacturer was burning through CBN wheels every 3 days. We reformulated the bond and recommended a finer grit with a specific concentration. Cycle time dropped 22% and wheel cost per part fell 35%.
Gear Profile Grinding: Burr-Free in One Pass
A German gear shop needed burr-free profile grinding on hardened steel (HRC 62). Our electroplated CBN form wheel held profile tolerance within ±5µm across 8,000 parts, eliminating the secondary deburring step entirely.
Architectural Glass Edging: Chipping Eliminated
A Middle-East glass processor saw 6% edge chipping on 12mm laminated glass. Switching to our fine-grit brazed diamond wheel with optimized feed rate reduced chipping to under 0.5%, saving material and rework.
Carbide End Mill Fluting: 3× Throughput
A Chinese cutting-tool factory grinding carbide end mills moved to our hybrid-bond diamond flute wheel. Combined with a coolant change, feed rate rose 3× while holding edge quality, dramatically boosting output per machine.
Granite Slab Polishing: Scratch-Free Finish
A Brazilian stone processor needed a mirror finish on black granite. Our resin-bond diamond polishing pads, sequenced from 50# to 3000#, delivered a scratch-free gloss with 18% less pad consumption per slab.
