Abrasive Belts and Discs.VSM's Compactgrain abrasives for grinding use a unique granulate gran·u·late v. gran·u·lat·ed, gran·u·lat·ing, gran·u·lates v.tr. 1. To form into grains or granules. 2. To make rough and grainy. v.intr. consisting of many abrasive grains bonded together. This construction allows the product to systematically wear by constantly regenerating new sharp grinding points throughout the finishing process. The regeneration of abrasive material produces a consistent surface roughness and increases the belt and disc life in polishing applications. The multi-layer construction of the abrasive material works well in mechanical operations such as robotic, flat and centerless grinding Centerless grinding is a method of material removal through grinding, similar to centered grinding except for the absence of the spindle. It has high through-put, i.e. large number of parts can be manufactured in a short time. as well as off hand and disc polishing. It is available in aluminum oxide aluminum oxide: see alumina. and silicon carbide silicon carbide, chemical compound, SiC, that forms extremely hard, dark, iridescent crystals that are insoluble in water and other common solvents. Widely used as an abrasive, it is marketed under such familiar trade names as Carborundum and Crystolon. grain and can be produced in belt and disc forms. |
