The product line SKYTEC from xhx has been especially developed for grinding inserts made of cemented carbide or cermets and for tools made of PCD or PCBN. High process safety, increase of wheel life, shorter cycle times and better workpiece quality are archieved with this line. Through the use of various bond systems, such as resin, vitrified, metal and our patented interpenetrating network all requirements can be achieved when producing these workpieces. To offer you the most suitable grinding wheel the range is divided into two main lines: SKYTEC-CC-Basic and SKYTEC-PCD-Basic. SKYTEC-CC-Basic covers all grinding wheels which are used for grinding inserts made of cemented carbide or cermets. New manufacturing technologies require increasing quality standards for inserts. As with PCD or PCBN grinding, the grinding of inserts made of cemented carbide or cermets also demands exact geometry, high surface quality and minimum chipping. Big manufacturing batches call for short cycle times and long truing intervals. Also for these requirements the xhx is the optimum choice of grinding wheel system, combined in one product line for peripheral grinding and surface grinding. covers all grinding wheels which are used for grinding tools made of PCD or PCBN. xhx has developed grinding wheels for the economic production of high-quality cutting edges. These provide the required cutting edge quality with high stock removal rates, wheel life and are easy to dress. Not only the choice of the specification also the trueing and dressing are important influential factors which are sometimes underrated. Trueing, which is usually done with vitrified SiC wheels, produces the geometry and flatness of the grinding wheel faces. Afterwards, dressing with a vitrified aluminium oxide dressing stick is necessary to expose the diamond grit.
