Whether for e-mobility or in aircraft construction – lightweight materials such as aluminum and titanium-aluminum alloys are increasingly being used to reduce weight. These high-performance materials pose special challenges for machinists, which they can only meet with precisely matched high-end tools. The TiB2-based HiPIMS coating material AluCon® – the further development of the successful coating material AluSpeed® – enables such innovative tool concepts.

On the way to your own Premium Coating
CemeCon supplies a complete turnkey package that consists of substrate pretreatment, coating system and additional periphery. The unity of plant engineering, proven process and the training of your employees in our coating center facilitates your entry into the coating technology. This makes us different from any other technology supplier!
Behind the magic of HiPIMS Coatings lies technical excellence.
The CC800® HiPIMS is capable of handling all existing CemeCon coatings and almost all other PVD coatings available on the market, featuring coating rates up to 2 μm/h in pure HiPIMS mode; a range of coating thicknesses from 1 μm to 12 μm; and capacity levels of up to 1,800 shank tools or 5,000 inserts. It is the fastest, most flexible and economical production system ever designed, and the perfect platform for the development of customer-specific processes. This enables users to differentiate their tools in the marketplace and achieve a competitive advantage.
Fastest and most flexible system on the market. HiPIMS deposition rates of 2 μm/h. Fast changeover, high productivity!
When the requirements for the coatings become more and more individual and the lot sizes become smaller, you need a system to produce precision coatings reliably and quickly. With CC800® HiPIMS integrated into your production, you can managed up to 5 batches per day. Each one with a different coating specification!
The future is where your markets are growing. HiPIMS delivers maximum flexibility. All coating materials and all substrates are possible!
What requirements will your customers ask for in the precision tools of tomorrow? Which coatings will be relevant? The HiPIMS technology delivers security here. With HiPIMS any material can be coated. The ability to combine a variety of elements from the periodic table to produce proprietary coatings means options for development are almost unlimited. On HSS, carbide, CBN and ceramic – all substrates can be coated! Future security for your products. Future security for your investment.
One coating plant, unlimited coatings. Even your own!

„With the investment in the CC800® HiPIMS, we are strengthening the successful and longstanding COOPERATION with CemeCon. This technology is opening up NEW TARGET GROUPS for us.“
„The partially chemical-based pretreatment procedures on the tool in the CVD diamond process constitute a slightly higher hurdle for a more ‘mechanically’ aligned operation like Fraisa. But in this case, we also managed to produce our own coatings in a very short time, thanks to the excellent support from the system and technology supplier CemeCon and its well-trained staff. Today, a large team of engineers and technicians works on the finishing of high profile tools.“
„HiPIMS technology is perfect for this task: it results in extremely smooth, dense coatings that stay on the tap’s threads due to outstanding ductility. The exceptionally high ionization adds optimal film adhesion to the positive properties. And it ensures the reliable deposition of coatings containing carbon.“
„Only CemeCon’s HiPIMS TECHNOLOGY allows us to adjust NUMEROUS VARIABLES to finely calibrate the power to perfectly match our, in some cases, EXTREMELY FILIGREE ACTIVE ELEMENTS – of which over 1,000 can be installed in a single high-performance progressive die! This has enabled us to take a HUGE STEP FORWARD in STAINLESS STEEL“
„We have always been very satisfied with the results of the CC800®/9 XL. What is the next step? Which technology accelerates growth and our success? For this purpose, we carried out numerous tests with different manufacturers and examined all coatings thoroughly. The most superior system quickly emerged: the CC800® HiPIMS. It impressed us in every respect: For fast results, stainless 316L was machined in a test – and the HiPIMS system immediately stood out from all the other technologies and manufacturers. With regard to coating thickness in particular, the technology is groundbreaking – perfect for our inserts.“
„With the CC800® HiPIMS we are taking coating technology in India to a whole NEW LEVEL.“
„The CC800® HiPIMS greatly enhances THE PERFORMANCE of our TAP DRILLS enabling us to GROW OUR BUSINESS.“
„HiPIMS technology offers us virtually boundless possibilities in the development of specific coating solutions. This enables us to achieve growth through new materials.“
„Actively managing A WIDE RANGE OF VARIANTS – each in PREMIUM QUALITY – is the core of the PROTECH INNOVATION CENTER. I see the CC800® HiPIMS from CemeCon as a cornerstone in our FUTURE STRATEGY.“
„To expand capacity and meet the high demand for high-performance micro tools for Metal machining in the 3C industry and tools for the Aerospace industry, IND-SPHINX/AXIS has now invested in a second CC800® HiPIMS.“
Never before has the decision for the right coating technology been so simple!

No other technology can do more - from micro drills to inserts with 12 μm. No other technology is capable of coating almost any material. No system on the market is more flexible and faster! HiPIMS produces smooth, droplet-free and low-stress coatings in an almost unlimited variety.
The hardest coating material in the world – real diamond crystals!
The CC800® Diamond coats tools for machining fiber-reinforced plastics, graphite or abrasive non-ferrous metals. The patented CemeCon multilayer technology ensures maximum stability by interlocking the individual layers within the coating. Possible cracks cannot propagate beyond the layer boundaries. The high thermal conductivity of the diamond coating ensures rapid heat dissipation, which is important for the processing of temperature-sensitive materials such as CFRP and GRP. This is enormously important and enables a higher processing speed when machining. All these characteristics make the coating materials of the CCDia® series the first choice in the machining of graphites, composites, non-ferrous metals, green bodies and ceramics.
With the CC800® Diamond, extremely smooth and outstandingly adhesive nanocrystalline, crystalline or multilayer diamond coatings can be applied on more than 80 different cemented carbide types and ceramic, SiC etc. The hot-filament process is perfect for complex three-dimensional tools, giving them a particularly homogeneous coating thickness distribution with narrow tolerances. Despite its compact external dimensions, the CC800® Diamond is the market’s largest capacity, fully automatic system for diamond coatings. Three independently operating coating chambers make this system very flexible and economical.
Markets change, so the materials they process change too. High-performance materials place high demands on precision tools in machining. Whoever already carries the innovation gene within them today will succeed on the competitive markets of tomorrow!
