High-Speed Peel Grinding of Turbo Charger Blade Profileย with Vitrified CBN

Turbocharger-1Here is an example of Meister’s large wheel expertise in action. ย In this application the customer is grinding a profileย on the tips of turbo chargerย blades. ย The material is Inconel and cycle time and throughput is critical to meet production demands. ย To achieve success the customer uses a Meister ร˜400mm Vitrified Bonded CBN wheel that isย dynamically balancedย to run at high speeds (140m/s) for maximum material removal rate.

The process runs very stable with a cycle time of 10 seconds per partย and a skip dress of 300 parts.
