Norton's Innovative Dual-Worm Wheels Grind and Polish in One Operation
Norton's Xtrimium Dual-Worm Grinding Wheels feature a unique design with a high-performance vitrified bond section for grinding and a fine-grit resin section for polishing the gear teeth, enabling one wheel to perform what traditionally required two wheels.
Substantial savings in wheel costs and productivity via the elimination of wheel swapping, can be achieved with the Norton design.
"In today's increasingly stringent industry requirements for higher accuracy and improved surface finishes, our high performance Xtrimium grinding wheels are engineered to deliver the highest quality gear grinding solutions," said Josh Fairley, Product Engineer, Norton ׀ Saint-Gobain Abrasives.
In addition, improved surface finishes of Rz = 1.0mm and Rpk = 0.05mm, and reduced harmonics (noise) are realized. The Norton Xtrimium Dual-Worm Grinding wheels can also be adapted to existing machines.
The Norton Xtrimium Gear Grinding Platform also covers the whole range of gear grinding processes and leverages the whole spectrum of Norton grains and bond technologies to match each customer's requirements, including:
- Worm Grinding Wheels featuring micro-structured ceramic grain and providing free cutting action and wheel homogeneity, allowing constant performance throughout the wheel thickness for the life of the wheel. Superior grinding rates and increased form holding without burn are achieved with these worm grinding wheels.
- Profile Grinding Wheels which are ideal for deep profile gear grinding. The wheels feature high porosity and permeability, create exceptionally high material removal rates, and friction-free grinding.
- Bevel Grinding Wheels featuring a highly porous bevel formation for extremely fast, burn-free cutting.
