Gewefa secures record-breaking order for aerospace application

Gewefa UK has secured its biggest single order for grinding arbors – along with a large quantity of collet chucks – for use with newly commissioned Magerle MFP 100 grinding and milling centres.

The order, comprising 600 individual tool holders in total, including 400 ‘Grindtec’ grinding arbors with HSK80 tapers, is to assist with the finish-machining of critical aero-engine components.

Magerle MFP 100 machines feature an integrated tool changer which can be equipped with grinding wheels of differing diameters and grades, as well as the metalcutting tool holders. The tool-holder specification required a robust construction to guarantee wide machining contours with high material removal rates. Gewefa Grindtec arbors are part of a comprehensive range of arbors, tool holders and accessories available from Gewefa specifically for grinding applications.
