Thank You for Visiting Us at JIMTOF2026

Throughout the exhibition, we welcomed many visitors, and it was a valuable opportunity to introduce our products and technologies while hearing directly about your challenges and needs regarding diamond and CBN materials and brazing processes. We would like to express our sincere gratitude once again for taking the time out of your busy schedule to visit our booth.

At this year’s JIMTOF, Element Six, PIN POWER, and Quod6 collaborated in a joint three-company exhibition, showcasing and introducing mainly Element Six’s new PCD portfolio and PINPOWER’s high-speed vacuum brazing system, the “PP-S PLUS”.

Element Six New PCD Portfolio

Drawing on more than 50 years of PCD development experience, Element Six offers a new PCD portfolio designed to meet a wide range of needs, including application, required precision, and production volume.

In the new portfolio, specifications such as disc diameter, tolerance-applied area, PCD layer thickness, overall thickness, dimensional tolerances, and surface finish—in addition to the PCD material—have been organized so that products can be easily selected according to the application.

The products are classified into three product groups according to the required precision and application: E6 Superior, E6 Advanced, and E6 Assured.

Superior

A premium range with tight dimensional tolerances on the PCD layer and overall thickness, and a high-quality polished surface. It is intended for high-precision applications such as hole-making tools for automotive components requiring high surface quality and milling tools for machining smartphone components.

Advanced

The core product range of Element Six. Specifications can be selected from multiple disc diameters, PCD layer thicknesses, and overall heights according to the application and production volume, supporting a wide range of machining applications such as milling and turning tools.

Assured

A cost-competitive product range for applications that do not require tight dimensional tolerances. While using Element Six raw materials, it features tolerances and certified areas set according to the application, and is also intended for relatively high-volume applications such as woodworking saw blades and routers.

In addition, each PCD product comes with a quality certificate recording quality information such as a unique disc ID, ultrasonic analysis of the PCD layer, and overall height, ensuring product traceability.

PINPOWER High-Speed Vacuum Brazing System “PP-S PLUS”

At the venue, we introduced how to operate the system and the tool manufacturing process using vacuum brazing, while visitors viewed actual brazed tool samples and introductory videos.

The PP-S PLUS performs brazing in a sealed chamber under a vacuum environment.
Processing in a vacuum suppresses oxidation during heating and helps minimize thermal effects on materials, such as graphitization of diamond materials. In addition, because no flux is used, post-brazing flux removal and cleaning processes are unnecessary, resulting in a clean finish.

One of its key features is the ability to register and manage brazing conditions as “recipes”.

In manual brazing, adjusting the temperature, heating time, and process timing depends heavily on the experience and know-how that operators have built up over many years. With the PP-S PLUS, these conditions can be set and saved as system parameters and managed as recipes tailored to specific tools and materials.

By repeatedly using conditions once they have been set, the same type of tool can be processed under consistent conditions, leading to improved consistency and reproducibility of brazing quality across batches.

This is not intended to replace the skills of experienced operators. By quantifying conditions such as temperature and time—which have traditionally been adjusted based on experience and intuition—and accumulating them as recipes, the brazing conditions developed by skilled operators can be shared as in-house technical knowledge and more easily passed on to the next generation.

Skilled operators set the optimal conditions, and younger operators and other staff reuse those recipes. Beyond standardizing the brazing process, the PP-S PLUS can also serve as a framework that supports this kind of skills transfer.

We Welcome Your Inquiries After the Exhibition

At JIMTOF, we received a wide range of inquiries, including automation and quality stabilization of the brazing process with PINPOWER, and selection of Element Six’s new PCD products.

If you would like a more detailed explanation of the products introduced at the exhibition, or are considering applying them to specific tools or applications, please feel free to contact Quod6.

For PINPOWER brazing systems, we can also discuss brazing tests using your actual tools and samples.

For Element Six PCD, we will propose the PCD grade and product specifications best suited to your application, taking into account the workpiece material, tool geometry, required surface quality, wear resistance, and chipping resistance.

Quod6 Co., Ltd. will continue to address the challenges in your manufacturing, from material selection to tool manufacturing processes, through our products, technologies, and services.

We sincerely look forward to your continued support of Quod6 Co., Ltd.
