Grinding wheels boost productivity for conventional and high speed grinding applications

CITCO and Gardner Abrasives Operations of Cinetic Landis Grinding present an array of new, productivity-boosting grinding wheels with features to suit the requirements of grinders with conventional or highspeed spindles.

Included are Gardner's innovative "Black Magic" disc wheels that have a proprietary formulation making them suitable for grinding a wide range of spring materials, high performance cBN button wheels for high-speed dry grinding applications, superabrasive disc wheels for grinding hard or difficult to grind materials including ceramics, and custom designed and engineered wheels using ceramic grain to reduce dressing to minimize grinding costs. CITCO's lineup includes a variety of specialty diamond and cBN grinding wheels that offer the ability to grind at low rpm and achieve lapping tolerances and finishes.

The Gardner Black Magic discgrinding wheel features a new, proprietary bond material that incorporates induced porosity with internal lubricants. This unique design enables a significant productivity improvement in spring grinding when compared with traditional magnesite-bonded wheels. By reversing the direction of the Black Magic grinding wheels every 3-4 hours, downtime for dressing can virtually be eliminated. Even without directional change of the wheels, dressing is drastically reduced.
