Precision Grinding for Global Manufacturing
I. Four Core Advantages of CGS Electroplated Diamond/CBN Tools
- Extreme Sharpness
Perfect for complex profiles, sharp corners, deep grooves, and contoured surfaces with ultra‑high forming accuracy.
- Cool Cutting
Open structure reduces heat buildup, preventing workpiece burn, deformation, and micro‑cracks.
- High Stock Removal
Aggressive cutting action enables fast material removal and greatly improves production efficiency.
- No Dressing Required
Saves time, labor, and abrasive costs with zero dressing needed during use.
II. CGS Electroplated Tools: 20 Industry Application Cases

4. Ceramic Industry
Workpiece Material:
Alumina ceramic (Al₂O₃) and zirconia ceramic (ZrO₂)
Application Example:
Precision slicing of ceramic substrates for electronic circuits and grinding of ceramic valve seals.
Industry Pain Point:
Ceramic materials are extremely hard and brittle. Conventional abrasive wheels cause edge chipping, micro-cracks, and rapid tool wear. High rejection rates increase production costs.
Advantage of Electroplated Diamond Tools:
Sharp, exposed diamond grains cut cleanly with minimal chipping. The thin cutting disc produces narrow kerfs, reducing material waste. Tool life is 10–20x longer than conventional abrasives.
5. Glass Industry
Workpiece Material:
Optical glass (e.g., BK7, fused silica) and automotive glass
Application Example:
Edge grinding of smartphone cover glass and drilling holes in automotive glass for sensor mounts.
Industry Pain Point:
Glass tends to fracture or develop micro-cracks during grinding. Heat buildup from friction can cause thermal stress and breakage.
Advantage of Electroplated Diamond Tools:
High grain exposure allows free cutting with low heat generation, preventing thermal cracks. The electroplated layer produces smooth, burr-free edges. Complex hole shapes and curved edges can be easily customized.
6. Semiconductor Industry
Workpiece Material:
Silicon wafers (monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon) and silicon carbide (SiC) substrates
Application Example:
Backside grinding (wafer thinning) and dicing of silicon wafers into individual chips.
Industry Pain Point:
Wafers are extremely brittle and easily break during thinning. Extreme precision (micron-level) is required. Any surface damage or subsurface cracks can destroy the entire wafer, which represents high value.
Advantage of Electroplated Diamond Tools:
Fine diamond grits (up to #3000) achieve precise, damage-free surfaces. The electroplated bond holds grains firmly, ensuring consistent wafer thickness. The open structure prevents loading, reducing wafer breakage and improving yield.
