How do you create a better hybrid bond wheel? The starting point for the Mirka® Cafro E-Cup 11 was to develop a better performing wheel while optimizing the production process. The steps taken in the development process created a more sustainable grinding wheel that can also improve total productivity for the end-user.

The new Mirka Cafro E-Cup wheel features a resin support rim, designed to wear at the same rate as the diamond abrasive rim. This minimizes machine stops, saving time and increasing total grinding productivity. The support rim and hybrid bond give the E-Cup 11 wheel excellent stability and maximum precision for grinding operations.

From a sustainability standpoint, the efficient E-Cup hybrid bond wheel checks several key boxes. Instead of alloy, the inner support rim is manufactured using resin and the wheel body is made from a lead-free alloy, eliminating an environmental toxin.

The pairing of these technologies has resulted in a more efficient, higher performing and more sustainable grinding wheel for tool manufacturing. Together with its hybrid bond structure, the Mirka E-Cup 11 wheel is a bond of technical innovation and sustainability.
