Looking for process-improving technology that can substantially enhance grinding quality, precision, and productivity? Then add Meister’s IMTS Booth #237341 in the North Hall to your “must visit” itinerary. Here are some advancements to put on your radar screen.
New cDD Single-Point Stationary Dressers: Conventional single diamond crystal dressers can exhibit substantial wear and tip flattening after as few as 100-200 dressing cycles. This materially changes the overlap ratio of the dresser on the tool, resulting in inconsistent, fluctuating grinding process performance. You can be stuck with grinding burn, dimensional variation, and geometry problems with roundness and concentricity.
With Meister’s revolutionary cDD single-point stationary dressers, those problems are gone! We embed one or more CVD rods into a proprietary diamond hybrid-bonding matrix. No longer is there a need to rotate or replace the tool due to dull or blunted contact surfaces between the dressing tool and the grinding wheel. A constant diamond contact width is maintained even after thousands of dressing cycles. Result? Exceptional process stability, uniform part quality, and reduced costs.
New HPL Anti-Friction Abrasive Products: Introduced only a year ago, these products are formulated to eliminate part burning while maintaining superior grinding productivity. They represent a significant extension of Meister’s proprietary HPB (High Performance Bonding) Technology. They rely on premium grade CBN crystals fixed within a durable, porous, anti-friction bonding matrix to allow substantially faster grinding of difficult materials without sacrificing quality due to wheel loading and/or part burning.
Applications include deep bore grinding with limited cooling access, blind-end bore grinding, and heavy-stock form-grinding of tool steels, to name a few. In fact, in over 85% of the trials performed this past year, customers reported the new HPL technology worked very well, often providing cost-effective advantages over standard vit-CBN grinding products. That’s indeed newsworthy, and when you stop by our booth we can tell you more about the tests. You just might have an ideal application for this innovative anti-friction product.
New Micro-Precision cDD Diamond Dressers: These long-lasting micro-precision dressing tools dramatically reduce process variability while improving quality and productivity of grinding processes. The radius form tolerance of these new micro-precision diamond dressers can be certified accurate to within 2 µm (+/- 0.001 mm) if the application requires. This represents the best in industry tool radius tolerances so essential for today’s most demanding micro-precision grinding applications.
New Double-Disk Fine Grinding Wheels: Meister Abrasives USA is able to provide custom-tailored solutions for grinding ultra-flat and parallel part surfaces. Meister pellet wheels have earned an enviable reputation for more consistent close tolerance fine grinding performance along with uniform wheel wear characteristics. Also noteworthy is that these large vit CBN and Diamond abrasive wheels can be produced up to 1,225 mm (approximately 4 ft.) in diameter right here in USA relying on the same materials, equipment, processes, and quality protocols used by Meister Abrasives in Switzerland.
Meet the Solutions Experts: Our Applications Engineers know the industry inside out. If one of your goals at IMTS 2018 is to find ways to improve your abrasive machining processes, then make it a point to stop by the booth and talk to them. They will be happy to speak with you.
And when you stop by our booth #237341 in the North Hall be sure to sample some of our Swiss Chocolate!
