Size reduction is achieved by the impact of materials on the high speed hammer rotating
grinding surface and on the fixed liner or grinding track.
MSB solgel abrasives micro-fracture during use, creating a new vital
grinding surface. Manufactured using Milacron's Engineered Grain Spacing (EGS) technology, the wheels provide free cutting, longer wheel life, lower power consumption, ease of dressing, and elimination of burn.
The new line of AVOS wheels are manufactured with three notches along the wheel's periphery, allowing a complete view of the
grinding surface. These depressed center grinding wheels feature a tough aluminum oxide abrasive and are available in 36- and 60-grit sizes for grinding ferrous materials as well as a 46-grit product for use with aluminum and other nonferrous materials.
When the wheel is spinning, they provide complete vision of the
grinding surface. Guy Timm, manager of process and product engineering for Norton, says this new product line marks the first time the company has used its AVOS design for bonded abrasives.
A report in the June 24 NATURE, based on scanning electron microscope images and a statistical analysis of bands of light on the
grinding surface of hominid teeth, suggests that members of the now-extinct Paranthropus lineage ate hard foods such as nuts and seeds, while Australopithecus individuals probably preferred leaves and soft, fleshy fruits.
On one end of the machine is a station located at one of the belt's endrollers, providing a curved
grinding surface for shaping and contouring.
The shape offers vision to the edge of the
grinding surface. When combined with the holes, the product offers complete vision of the
grinding surface.
Suitable for use on angle grinders of all output levels, it is ideal for work on weld seams and for
grinding surfaces and fillet welds.
Precise tolerances are maintained between the rotor blades and the stationary
grinding surfaces. * Prater-Sterling, Bolingbrook, IL 60440.
