The use of the carbon fibre composite material also acts as a form of damper that helps prevent vibrations from being transferred to the grinding point, so improving surface quality. Benefits include improved ground quality (notably in terms of surface finish) when using rougher grinding wheels that remove stock faster, so speed up the grinding process and deliver much faster cycle times, without any detriment to the finished part.
Carbon composite fibre grinding wheel hubs offer speed and surface quality benefits
Available from Advanced Grinding Solutions, Krebs & Riedel high composite carbon fibre wheel hubs are available to suite the existing K&R range of CBN and diamond wheels. These offer maximum strength, minimum weight and maximum rigidity. The hubs are over 75% lighter than traditional steel bodies and, apart from easy handling, their use dramatically decreases the load on grinding spindles during the grinding process.
