Field of Grinder

   In the quest for ever more exacting and compact commercial gears, precision abrasives are playing a key production role-a role that can shorten cycle time, reduce maching costs and meet growing market demand for such requirements as light weights, high loads, high speed and quiet operation. Used in conjunction with high-quality grinding machines, abrasives can deliver a level of accuracy unmatched by other manufacturing techniques, cost-effectively meeting AGMA gear quality levels in the 12 to 15 range. Thanks to advances in grinding and abrasive technology, maching has become one of the most viable means to grind fast, strong and quiet gears.

    The grinding/abrasives market is rapidly changing, thanks to new technology, more flexibility and an attempt to lower customer costs. Productivity is at an all-time high in this market, and it's only going to improve with further R&D. By the time IMTS 2014 rolls around this September, the gear market will have lots of new toys and gadgets to offer potential customers. If you have not upgraded any grinding/abrasives equipment in the last five years, now might be a good time to consider the investment.
