Powertrain Precision Grinding
Vitrified CBN Wheels for the High-Efficiency Precision Grinding of Ferrous Powertrain Components
Developments in machine technology are enabling increased speeds and more precise grinding, with Mirka® Cafro's vitrified CBN wheels grinding speeds can approach 140 m/s, with both high material removal and profile stability.
Mirka® Cafro's vitrified superabrasive wheels can be dressed in the operating machine, just as with conventional abrasive wheels. Our broad product range includes continuous rim diameters from 10mm to 605mm, and segmented rims over 900mm in diameter. These vitrified wheels are often customised products, produced to the customer's specific requirements. Standard sizes are available with an expedited delivery time.
The CBN superabrasive used in these wheels is the abrasive of choice for manufacturing ferrous automotive powertrain components, such as camshafts and crankshafts. Replating services are offered for the replacement or renewal of superabrasive rims on valuable steel bodies
Unique Manufacturing Solution
Single-rim vitrified CBN wheels up to a diameter of 605mm, allowing:
- Perfect homogeneity of CBN rim around the entire diameter
- Improved surface finishes with larger CBN grit size
- Improved removal rates
- Abrasive-free neutral zone to allow complete superabrasive use while protecting wheel body
- Fewer grinding steps, shorter cycle time
- Customisable specifications, flexible production
- Global network of technical specialists
- Tolerances down to 0.01-0.02 mm
