‘Abrasive Materials’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release MX7 grinder makes tools with up to 16mm diameters from Anca Industrial Supplies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Anca's MX7 CNC grinder, which the company recently exhibited at the EMO Exhibition, can manufacture a variety of tools up to 16mm in diameter.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Taegutec replaces CT5000 grade with Cermet CT7000 from TaeguTec UK: "Taegutec has brought out the Cermet CT7000 grade for steel-machining applications at high cutting speeds. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from ESI Group - take a look at Pam-Comfort helps Renault design new seat which says: "Renault has used ESI's Pam-Comfort system for the preliminary design of a new seat.".

Take a look also at the news release from Kistler Instruments, Low-pressure Kistler sensors quadruple sensitivity, as well as Digital material pack enables model creation from Objet Geometries Europe, and Objet to exhibit rapid prototyping solution at TCT from Objet Geometries Europe.
