Abrasives & Finishing Products

Delivering power, precision and versatility, the Powergrind-XP variable-speed buffers from Palmgren can handle a wide range of finishing applications. They are equipped with the latest technology variable-speed inverter, enabling them to deliver intermediate blending, polishing and surface conditioning applications at maximum rpms.

Weiler Abrasives Group has added a new flap disc to its Tiger coated abrasives lineup. New Tiger Angled flap discs deliver aggressive grinding and long life, along with greater flexibility for grinding fillet welds, T-joints, hard-to-reach places, and for repair and rework, according to the company.

Weiler Abrasives Group has announced a new product in its Tiger bonded abrasives lineup. The new Tiger UltraCut thin cutting wheels deliver fast cuts, long wheel life and consistent performance—with a true 1mm thickness.

Guyson has just completed another one of its popular RB-9 robotic blasting systems. The customer had a demanding surface preparation specification that could only be achieved by precise robotic gun manipulation and part fixturing and the use of high-performance model 75/12 media cyclone.

Gear component manufacturers can easily achieve break-in lubricity, robust corrosion protection and galling resistance on critical components. Birchwood Technologies' TRU TEMP low-temperature, black-oxide process meets demanding finishing requirements while creating a non-dimensional finish, maintaining the same material hardness and load-bearing properties.

Design engineers are often faced with tricky applications that require bare metals to be bonded, and it can be tough to find products that can achieve this without extensive surface preparation. The path of continued improvement and signature innovation from 3M has reportedly led to a product that delivers strength, corrosion resistance and reliable performance for bonding metal: 3M Scotch-Weld Metal Bonder Acrylic Adhesive DP8407NS.

Weiler Abrasives Group has announced the upgrade of its Roughneck and Wolverine 4-inch Stringer Bead wheels. The Stringer Bead wheels have been reengineered to deliver maximum cleaning efficiency and longer life.

Walter Surface Technologies launched its redesigned Zip Wheel. The new abrasive disc offers even higher efficiency and better performance than its predecessor.

Osborn, the Richmond, Ind.-based supplier of industrial brushes, polishing compounds and buffs, named Ty Weber product manager for its abrasives division.n

Walther Trowal offers a new generation of blast turbines for the troughed-belt, continuous-feed shot blast machines, type THM. These turbines increase the throwing speed and, thus, reduce cycle times for shot blasting of light metals like aluminum and magnesium.

Weiler Abrasives Group has rebranded its Vortec Pro abrasive flap discs under its Wolverine family of products, and has also reengineered the discs to deliver maximum cut rate and increased life, all at an exceptional value, according to the company. Like other Wolverine brand products, the flap discs are for fabrication professionals who have grinding and blending needs for their everyday carbon and stainless steel applications.

Weiler Abrasives Group has announced the expansion of its Tiger bonded abrasives offering. The expanded line of products, manufactured in the company's Slovenian facility, reportedly provides users with a wider breadth of solutions for their most demanding grinding and cutting needs.
