New Diamond Cutter Head for Cat® PM620 Milling Machine Optimizes Milling Performance

Caterpillar's Diamond Cutter Heads Redefine Road Milling Efficiency PM620 Milling Machine

Unmatched Wear Resistance & Longevity

• Polycrystalline Diamond Technology: Caterpillar's cutter heads feature polycrystalline diamond tips (PDCs), delivering 40 times longer life for Standard heads and 80 times longer life for Reinforced heads compared to carbide steel counterparts.

• Operational Savings: The reduced need for replacements translates to lower maintenance costs and 30% more active working hours between tool changes.

Performance Advantages Beyond Longevity

• Sustained Cutting Efficiency: Diamond tips maintain sharpness through 90% of their service life, unlike carbide tools that dull after just 30% of use, leading to consistent productivity.

• Fuel & Vibration Benefits: Independent field tests show diamond-equipped Cat® PM620 machines achieve 15% lower fuel consumption and 50% less vibration than carbide-based models, enhancing both efficiency and operator comfort.

• Productivity Gains: The diamond heads enable a 20% higher milling output under identical conditions, thanks to their self-sharpening design that eliminates performance drop-off.

Engineering for Operational Excellence

• Vibration Reduction: Reduced cutting resistance minimizes stress on machine components like hydraulic systems and the chassis, extending their lifespan by 25%.

• Quick-Change Mechanism: The PM620’s innovative tool holder design cuts replacement time by 40%, optimizing uptime for high-volume projects.

Highways: Where Diamond Cutters Shine

• Precision Milling: Achieving uniform 50mm depth control for smooth repaving

• Noise & Emission Reduction: Operating at 10dB lower noise levels with a 15% smaller carbon footprint per kilometer milled
