Saint-Gobain Abrasives, one of the world’s largest abrasives manufacturers, will be highlighting a range of high performance, innovative abrasive grinding products and technology at IMTS at Booth #N-237042.
Gear grinding solutions that feature a new high-performance bond designed for gear grinding in extreme, tight tolerance environments will be highlighted. The portfolio of gear grinding products is specifically designed by category to provide higher profile accuracy, supreme form holding, and burn-free grinding in worm, profile, and bevel applications.
Norton Quantum™ Prime grinding wheels, which feature proprietary nano-crystalline ceramic grain and offer unprecedented productivity gains across a wide range of applications, will also be highlighted. The Quantum Prime grain delivers exceptionally high grinding efficiency and part quality, as well as significantly longer wheel life than traditional ceramic grains. Wheels are available in a range of types including OD, ID, gear grinding, toolroom, disc grinding, mounted wheels, surface grinding, creepfeed, and flute grinding.
Also to be featured is the popular Norton Abrasive Process Solutions (APS) program, which provides custom grinding expertise by helping customers determine the most optimal grinding or finishing solutions for the application at hand, ranging from simple to complex, off-hand or automated, and for metal fabrication, production grinding and virtually any abrasives operation. The APS program draws upon the vast knowledge of the Norton team along with access to 30 different machines, and the state-of-the-art APS Robotic Automation Cell, which is at the core of the new APS program located at the Higgins Grinding Technology Center in Northborough, Massachusetts. The APS team provides abrasive process development, optimization, automation, and in-house testing. APS services encompass the testing and optimization of new abrasives, improving quality and/or throughput, and exploring entirely new and customized processes.
