Connecting you to the Future of Superabrasives Technology, Today
How a new and innovative Tool Design can make a Huge Impact on Performance A bearing manufacturer was looking to make an improvement on an internal grinding application for inner bearing rings. They had (5) machines in full production, all Continue Reading →
Finishing the contours of a fuel injection pump cam is a very challenging precision grinding application. As the cam rotates in the CNC Grinding machine, the wheel is continuously driven in and out to maintain constant contact with the part’s Continue Reading →
500,000 more camshafts per year! This case study describes the successful implementation of HPL bonding technology for high-production cam-form grinding of fuel injection pump shafts. Background High-volume producer of fuel injection pumps 14 Studer grinding machines producing 7 Continue Reading →
Anti-friction bond technology reduces cycle time and eliminates burn in high production creep-feed grinding of Planer Knives. In this case study, a volume producer of planer knives for the woodworking industry requested assistance with their grinding process. Continue Reading →
New wheel technology achieves higher throughputs and better micro-precision accuracy while nearly doubling the parts per wheel. This case study summarizes the successful application of HPL (High Performance Lubrication) Vitrified CBN wheels in a demanding application for Electronic Power Steering. Continue Reading →
This case study demonstrates how a customer used Meister’s Dress Calculation Tool to optimize their dressing process and significantly improve grinding performance. The part was a hardened thin-walled steel sleeve. The customer was dissatisfied with the results he was obtaining Continue Reading →
Vitrified CBN justified to replace Aluminum Oxide 25% total cost/part savings plus other benefits This case study illustrates how Meister’s Total Cost Calculation Tool was used to justify the conversion of an aluminum oxide grinding process over to vitrified CBN. The Continue Reading →
In this case study, the customer achieved significant improvements in tooling costs and part quality through the implementation of a Meister hDD porous hybrid dressing tool. This tool, with its honeycomb-like bonding matrix was able to dress the wheel more Continue Reading →
For Injector Bodies of Marine Engines In this application the customer was grinding the bores of large fuel injection bodies for cruise ship marine engines. They were using CBN wheels and dressing tools from another manufacturer. The customer’s goals were Continue Reading →
Grinding Out Better Fuel Injector Nozzles The need to achieve better fuel economy is driving the requirement of increasingly tighter tolerances for fuel injector bores. Meister set out to test the viability of the new 3D Abrasive Technology for improving Continue Reading →
