Cutting for the main and auxiliary bearings (flanges) need large amount of CBN inserts in Compressor Industry. Because the intermittent situation is lighter, it is easier to replace the alloy inserts and carbide inserts.
The machining efficiency is much higher than carbide inserts, Mintek CBN inserts improve the efficiency by 50% and increase the life by 30%, and the tool life of CBN inserts is about 5 to 6 times than carbide inserts.
