Have you heard about the CHT process yet? It’s a value-added treatment that helps parts run cooler, resist wear, and stay productive longer—boosting throughput and reducing spoilage across bindery and print-finishing operations.
Dull or overheating drill bits cause ragged holes, depressed sheets from “punching,” and costly rework. Excess heat can curl drill tips and damage jobs and drill head spindles. CHT coatings reduce friction, shed heat, and help prevent clogging (paper plugs/chads), so drilling is faster, cleaner, and more consistent.
Using precisely applied chemistry, heat, and dwell time, Update Ltd applies a low-friction, wear-resistant surface to your parts. Depending on your application, we’ll recommend a coating—Teflon for release, TiN for hardness, chrome or carbide sputter for abrasion resistance—to match your stock and duty cycle.
CHT benefits more than drills. On slitters, perfs, and scores, TiN can increase surface hardness and extend tool life by 3–5×, saving money while improving edge quality and uptime. Select stitcher components can also be treated for longer service intervals.
