Die Maker's Secret Revealed: The Rocklinizer
ROCKLINIZER
equipment,
using the ROCKLINIZING process, applies a hard and wear
resistant surface of TUNGSTEN CARBIDE and ROCKHARD electrode
material to metals, tools and dies.
The ROCKLINIZER electronically impregnates and deposits
wear-resistant material both underneath and on top of metal
surfaces. Unlike welding or metal spraying, no
appreciable heat is generated; and the electrode material
will not separate or flake off the work piece. After
ROCKLINIZING, no heat treatment, grinding or other surface
treatment is necessary.

ROCKHARD
electrodes build up materials, reclaim undersized tools by
restoring tolerances, provide gripping on collets and
clamping blocks, and maintain dimensions on bearings,
shafts, and other metal surfaces.
TUNGSTEN
CARBIDE is applied to high speed steel and other metal
surfaces to prolong useful life and reduce wear.
Typical Applications for Metal Stampers:
The ROCKLINIZER is
often referred to as the "add on" machine. Key die
details are often protected from premature wear by using The
ROCKLINIZER. Each stroke of the press theoretically
takes away a portion of the tooling. Now there is a
way to combat this phenomena. Typical applications for
metal stampers include:
Control Slug
Pulling - by applying stripes of tungsten carbide evenly
inside the die cavity to provide resistance for the slug
riding back up on the punch.
Increased Die
Life - apply to top surface of die for longer wear.
Increased Punch
Life - add tungsten carbide to the entire punch surface
for longer wear.
Improve Part
Quality - by controlling the clearance between punch and
die.
Shimming
Details - perfect for precise adjustment and alignment.
Draw Beads -
The Rockhard electrode deposits a deliberately rough
finish to increase both the effectiveness and size of a
draw bead.
Method: Apply to
the area which is getting the wear. This can be at
positions A or B as shown or it can be at both positions.
Usually, for most types, the deposit is made on the sides
(A) and then the face (B) is ground. In this manner,
worn areas can be built back to size without cutting away
the entire worn portion of the punch or die. Deposit
can be from 0.0003 inches to 0.001 inches for wear
resistance only, or 0.0001 inches to maximum for build-up.
Sometimes, deposit is made on face (B). For best
results, experiment with deposit location and amount.
How to Apply
The
portable ROCKLINIZER allows wear prevention and maintenance
to be easily performed in your plant - not just in the
tool room. Anywhere!
The
ROCKLINIZER Beamed Thunderbolt Gun is automatically
triggered when the electrode is placed in contact with the
workpiece, or manually triggered by the operator.
Deposits are available from .0001" to .004" in a single
application, controllable within .0001" by machine dial
setting.
The ROCKLINIZER electronically applies electrode material by
a spark deposition process. Material is impregnated
both underneath and on top of the workpiece surface.
Because no appreciable heat is generated, the temper of the
workpiece is retained. ROCKLINIZING is applied to new
or reground and resharpened surfaces.
The Rocklinizer requires some applications
discussion to configure it correctly for your requirements.
