One of the most demanded tools is the 'resin-bonded wheel', which is manufactured through the curing process of bonding diamond or CBN abrasives, with inorganic fillers, and using resins as binders, such as phenol and polyimide. Resin bonded wheels are now effectively applicable to all sorts of grinding operations such as surface grinding, cylindrical and centerless grinding, grooving and internal grinding, etc. It is ideally used for grinding super alloys, cermet, ceramic, glass, ferrite, high-speed steel, tool alloys and many other new ultra-hard materials.
When Hickerson Industries teams up with our manufacturer, EHWA, we are able to offer our customers the highest quality resin-bonded wheels available today. Our R & D along with EHWA's expertise in manufacturing diamond tools since 1975 are evident in all our products, which is why we can provide a complete line of resin-bonded wheels such as: cylindrical grinding wheels, creep feed wheels, tip sawing grinding wheels and insert grinding wheels and more.
The manufacture of glass for any application is obviously a delicate process and not as easy as one may think. Special metal-bonded diamond wheels were invented to grind and shape various kinds of glass. These tools are designed to effectively and efficiently grind glass for uses such as television broun tubes, auto-glass, architectural glass, and more.
The other applications of metal bonded wheels are unlimited. In addition to glass grinding, new applications have extended to grinding and sharpening carbide tipped saws, ferrite, ceramic, tungsten carbide, auto parts & quartz.
We also have provided our customers with the highest quality edge wheels since the early 1990's for grinding liquid glass, which is mostly used in the semi-conductor industry. Thereafter, our manufacturer, EHWA began producing electrolysis grinding wheels to meet the needs of our customers in high-tech industries.
There is a great demand for special bonded wheels that are harder than both resin and metal bonded wheels for the use in automated equipment and systems, which both resin and metal bonded wheels will not suffice. These highly demanding bonded wheels must be durable with extended life and be self-truing and self-dressing in order to sustain maximum performance over long periods of heavy use. Vitrified-bond technology is today's answer.
A vitrified bond is actually a ceramic bond. It is extremely hard, yet free cutting and combines the better characteristics of both resin and metal bonds. It provides a longer tool life, effective grinding and high productivity to provide maximum performance with minimum maintenance. Today, the demand for vitrified-bonded wheels is sharply increasing in various high-tech industries.
Dressing Sticks
Different types of dressing sticks break down differently under a variety of conditions. Aluminum oxide dressing sticks work best on CBN grinding wheels, but can also be used on diamond grinding wheels. Silicon carbide dressing sticks in coarse grit sizes and hard grades are used for dressing conventional vitrified wheels.
Regular truing and dressing with Hickerson Industries dressing sticks will help you achieve maximum performance from your diamond, CBN and conventional vitrified, abrasive wheels. The sticks may also be used for your finishing operations.We offer a wide range of standard sizes, shapes and grits in aluminum oxide and silicon carbide. They are available in grit sizes ranging from 46 to 1500 grit. Contact us for more information or a special quote for your custom size requirements. For smaller quantities and standard sizes, visit our Ebay store.
