Simply automatic – dressing, balancing and sparking

Dressing
Whether aluminum oxide or
CBN:
Highest quality by dressing
with single grain diamonds,
tiles, rondists or diamond
rings from the clamping
device.
A large variety of grinding
wheel contours can be
programmed with ease.
Periodically dressing your
grinding wheel keeps it
sharp and in shape.

Balancing and sparking

Electromechanical balancing
head and solid-borne sound
sensor or motor current
for controlling the grinding
process.
Automatic sparking and
balancing reduces your cycle
times and produces highest
surface qualities.
