Abrasive tools and products

Diamond and CBN Tools The Reishauer Tool Division develops, produces and markets highly specialized diamond and CBN tools in electroplated bond for dressing, grinding, in addition to other special applications. High quality, in terms of precision tool life and wear resistance, is based on many years of experience and a great willingness to innovate. For Dressing of Cylindrical Grinding Wheels Reishauer strives for the best technical and cost effective solution in each Application. This also applies to our dressing discs and dressing rolls. The different tasks required for the manufacture of small, medium or large lot size, as well as specific demand regarding geometry and flexibility, determine the tool profile for each application. In combination with the corresponding dressing process, virtually all demands are met in the dressing of grinding wheels for the continuous generating grinding of involute and non-involute gear teeth. Reishauer?s engineering competence and manufacturing know how guarantee optimum process reliability.

Grinding Tools by and for Reishauer In line with its performance portfolio ? the Circle of Competence ? Reishauer not only builds its gear grinding machines but also manufactures its proper grinding wheels, called threaded wheels, in its own factory in Central Switzerland. Within the gear grinding process, the grinding machine supplies the kinematics, i.e. the precise movements that control the threaded wheel. For its part, the threaded wheel must transfer these movements onto the workpiece by grinding it accurately to a defined size and a predetermined surface quality. A threaded wheel consists of three elements, all of which have to fulfil a specific purpose. These elements are: the abrasive grits, the bond and the pores. In short, the abrasive grits? task is to perform the cutting of hardened steel to size and to a specified surface finish, all without generating any grinding burns. The bond, the second element, holds the grits in place and must ensure the safety of the grinding process at high operating speeds. The pores, as the third element, give the grinding wheel an open structure to ensure that the coolant gets into the contact area during grinding, and that the chips generated during the process can be transported away from the grinding zone. Reishauer threaded wheels have designed specifically for the process of continuous generating grinding. Each and every threaded wheel is subjected to a rigorous quality checking procedure and marked with an indelible laser induced ?birthmark? that ensures permanent product traceability.
