KAPP NILES manufactures non-dressable, electroplated single-layer CBN tools for hard and soft finishing of gears and profiles. Our tools have been among the top products worldwide for decades. They are used when the highest demands are made on quality, performance and economy.
CBN profile grinding wheels are available in single or multi-ribbed roughing and finishing design and are used for grinding of:
- External and internal gears in automotive (passenger car, commercial vehicle) and aircraft industry
- Radial, screw, rotor and worm profile wheels
- High speed grinding of profiles and gears
- Plunge grinding, abrasive cutting and cylindrical grinding
 CBN grinding worms are available in roughing and finishing design.
They are used as cylindrical grinding worms for highly productive grinding of external gears and other profiles. Grinding worms and profile grinding wheels are often used in combination.
In addition to non-dressable CBN tools, dressable tools made by renowned manufacturers can be used with our machines. Vitrified corundum grinding tools have been dominant for this purpose. Due to its good stability and grinding performance, the use of sintered corundum is preferable for grinding steel. It is recommended to machine grey cast iron with fused aluminium oxide as grinding material.
