CBN form grinding wheels offered
Electroplated CBN wheels offer substantial benefits - particularly when grinding exotic alloy steels; the tough crystals stay sharp longer as they tend to be self sharpening under cutting stress.

* Grinding alloyed steels - electroplated CBN wheels offer substantial benefits - particularly when grinding exotic alloy steels.
The reason is that the tough crystals stay sharp longer because they tend to be self-sharpening as cutting stress increases.
As the CBN crystal resists dulling much better than conventional abrasives, the CBN wheels provide a stress-free, cool cutting action.
Furthermore, the mono-layer wheel structure requires no truing or dressing throughout its life, thereby eliminating truing tool cost as well as non-productive wheel truing time.
High-precision CNC turning and grinding operations prepare the blanks for the Engis electroplating process and each wheel goes through a multi-step inspection process prior to release for shipment.
This advanced CBN wheel technology has been developed by Engis engineers using sophisticated software and a wealth of application expertise developed during more than 30 years of electroplating experience.
