Abrasive wheels

One of Europe's largest producers of both diamond and conventional abrasive wheels, Tyrolit, has released two new wheel types. The Ultra product line uses a new stronger bonding, allowing increased wheel porosity. The effect is a faster cutting wheel with reduced forces and lower temperature development in the grinding zone.

The end result, says the company, can be an increase in wheel life of up to 5 times, shorter grinding cycles and improved surface quality of the finished component. These products generally use more conventional grain types rather than high cost sintered alternatives, which means affordable wheel prices and improved roller dresser life.

Other product innovations include Polaris electroplated CBN wheels, which use new technology to control the depth and density of the electroplated layer that holds the CBN in place.
