The short lifespan was attributed to not using an overlay plate and only using quench and tempered steel wear plates. The client was forced to perform maintenance and changeouts on their PC buckets and liners every six weeks due to a combination of extreme operating conditions and the use of quench and tempered steel plates.
They were also required to keep spare buckets on standby for their machines to cater for the constant unplanned maintenance. The result of using Cutting Edges CTC overlay plates saw bucket liner change-out periods increase from six weeks to 11 months, a phenomenal per cent, while many plates lasted a lot longer. The iron ore mine saw increased productivity, safety benefits and significant savings from reduced product costs, maintenance manhours and downtime in what was seen as a significant business win by operators, maintenance and management.
Whether you're looking for wear solution for buckets and other heavy earthmoving and lining equipment, or your crushers, shredders, casting equipment or mill equipment, Cutting Edges' tailored solutions and leading-edge fabrication techniques will help you reduce downtime and drive productivity. Papaefthymiou for the technical discussion and for the provided tool steel components.

The VHX Series is equipped with a glare removal function and an HDR function to achieve high-quality images on highly-reflective surfaces that have little contrast. The ring-reflection removal function removes ring-shaped reflections on the target surface, which have conventionally been difficult to remove.
Capturing several images with different light-source directions prevents image overexposure. Also, the HDR High Dynamic Range function captures multiple images at varying shutter speeds to obtain an image with high color gradation.
This enables observation at previously unattainable levels of accuracy and contrast. End mills and drill tips have deep shapes that need to be inspected using both 2D and 3D measurements.
Measurements can be performed from any angle, and the system even compensates for vibration that would otherwise create a blurry image. They also feature high wear resistance and long service life compared to conventional carbide alloy tools.
This function enables users to understand the surface shape of a PCD tool, and to measure not only chipping, but also micron-level wear. Managing the lifespan of tooling is indispensable for stable manufacturing.
In some cases, it is also necessary to review the cutting conditions. Tips of cutting tools need to be managed with accuracy in units of micrometers, and it is also important to distinguish between wear and adhered chips or foreign particles.
Additionally, at high magnification users can distinguish true wear from foreign particles adhered to the surface. Long-term observation of the state of tooling allows users to understand the progress of wear, and as a result can extend the tooling service life by deriving optimal cutting conditions.
The VHX Series is a powerful tool that solves problems in conventional measurement and inspection and improves work efficiency. The VHX Series is equipped with a variety of functions that strongly support observing and analyzing tooling; including a free-angle tilt system to observe targets from any angle, glare removal to ensure accurate inspection, and depth composition so the entire target can be brought into focus and inspected.
