Abrasives & Finishing Products

Dia-Strip and Dia-Sheet lapping and polishing film incorporates pure virgin diamond powders in their highest concentrated forms. This slows for maximum material strength, durability, and performance. The powders are first expertly graded for uniformity, and then held into place by a thin nickel. With this approach, 90% of the grains are left exposed for cutting, yet are unable to escape the film due to the strength of the bonding agent. This unique construction makes Dia-Sheets and Dia-Strips highly durable, yet also flexible, bendable, and formable.

Among the additions are new models of the company's Carbide Micro Grinding Mandrels for optimized precision micro machining accuracy and performance. Carbide Micro Grinding Mandrels are compatible for use with Tungsten Carbide, fiberglass, stone, marble, ferrite, composites, non-ferrous metals, industrial ceramics, rubber, reinforced plastics, glass, and other hard abrasive materials. Offered in both Diamond and Borazon Jig types, the grinding mandrels are further available with a choice of either 500/600 or 325/400 grit, as well as either a 0.016", 0.020", or 0.02" head size.

Energy-efficient dryer and centrifugal cleaning system from Rösler provide mass finishing in an efficient, sustainable manner

Today's MAX System introduces the latest innovation known as Focused Deburring. These multi-axis machines feature up to four 1- to 5-axis heads or towers, which can process simultaneously or in sequence within a single working environment. This ability allows the machines to perform multiple operations on many edges and surfaces of a part at the same time. For example, a single MAX System can remove a protruding burr from an 8" spur gear, create a precision .060" chamfer on both sides of the same gear, and wash the part within 30 seconds.

OSG USA Inc., a subsidiary of OSG Corp., announced that Rick Harris has been hired as national accounts strategic manager.

Additive manufacturing is not perfect, and one area where significant issues reside is in the surface finish of AM parts as they come out of the build chamber or off the build plate.

Stan Kroll, general manager for J.W. Done Corp., discusses new sizes of the company's ORBITOOL deburring tool and shares how the tool helped one customer attain "out of this world" results.

A breakthrough ultrahigh-precision robotic machine tool positions an object anywhere in a 215 mm circle with accuracy, speed and controlled force.

The company's Tiger system has firmly established itself as the gold standard for cutting tool insert finishing, with installations in many of the world's leading cutting tool insert manufacturers. The system can be configured to process inserts for all essential pre-coating, edge honing or post-coating operations.

Advanced rotary surface grinders speed maintenance, extend tool life, and decrease press downtime compared to traditional, labor-intensive grinding methods.

This comprehensive portfolio encompasses the full breadth of off-hand products used in this market — so there is a productivity-enhancing solution for every job. Tiger cup wheels are available with multiple grain technologies: Tiger Zirc for fast and consistent metal removal; Tiger SiC for controlled cut-rate on sand castings with burnt-in sand; and Tiger AO for consistent performance on cast iron.
