Coating Process Development for TCT Circular Saw Blades
FY 2026-27 · 2026-08-01
Summary
The overall objective of this project is to develop an automated Coating process for our TCT Circular Saw Blades that will enable us to improve the quality of the overall coating on the saw blades in a repeatable process.
In order to achieve the overall objective, we have created 5 Stages of Development with specific goals and targets;
1) Pre-Treatment Coating Process
2) Coating Process Development
3) Post-Treatment Coating Process
4) Automation of Coating Process and Scaling up to meet expected demand.
