Saint-Gobain Abrasives abrasives

Sharp, hard materials used to wear away the surface of softer, less resistant materials. Abrasives are indispensable to the manufacture of the highly precise components and ultrasmooth surfaces required in the manufacture of automobiles, airplanes and space
 

Saint-Gobain introduces its in-process diagnostic system for measuring and optimizing surface finishing Surface finishing is used to describe a number of industrial processes that can be applied to improve the surface of a manufactured item. The major reason to apply these processes is to improve appearance, improve adhesion or ink wettability, corrosion protection, wear resistance and  operations. The Field Instrumentation System (FIS FIS n abbr (BRIT) (= Family Income Supplement) → ayuda estatal familiar ) is a portable, sensor-based hardware and software package that monitors and measures the material removal process and rates. It is designed to optimize the use of abrasives to tower process costs and increase productivity. The system measures and records key process inputs--applied force, air pressure, and orbital and rotational rates of the abrasive abrasive, material used to grind, smooth, cut, or polish another substance. Natural abrasives include sand, pumice, corundum, and ground quartz. Carborundum (silicon carbide) and alumina (aluminum oxide) are important synthetically produced abrasives.  product versus time--to improve process benchmarking, operator training and finish consistency.
