Northamptonshire-based Master Abrasives, an independent supplier of abrasives, tool services, machinery and equipment, has just been appointed as the authorised agent in the UK and Ireland for ROSA Ermando S.p.A, an Italian manufacturer of surface grinding machines. At MACH 2024, taking place 15-19 April at the NEC, Birmingham, the grinding specialist will showcase a Rosa Ermando Iron surface grinder (Hall 6, Stand 430).

Also highlighted will be a Pluto-18 external cylindrical CNC grinder, designed by Micromatic Grinding Technologies to focus on compactness, high-performance and providing an economical grinding solution. It is best suited to producing highly accurate small components and can perform both plunge and traverse grinding operations.

Alongside the grinding machines will be Supfina’s tape finishing attachment, just one example of the many high-quality products the German manufacturer offers. Representatives from ROSA Ermando, Micromatic and Supfina will be available to discuss application requirements — so Master Abrasives is encouraging any visitors with general or specific application inquiries to bring along their components or problems for experts to assess and offer a potential solution.

Cost-effective solutions
Master Abrasives will also be exhibiting its established range of high-precision abrasive grinding wheels, available in conventional, ceramic and super abrasives. Visitors will find answers to all their application requirements, from high stock removal to consistent part quality. Superfinishing stones, wheels and tapes (also known as micro films) are part of the abrasive offering, ensuring complete and cost-effective solutions for customers.

Ian Meredith, applications engineering manager and stand manager at Master Abrasives, said: “This year at MACH 2024 we have gone for a larger stand to accommodate the wider range of machinery and equipment we now represent, and our expertise is even stronger. Our team will be ready to answer any application questions and arrange for a full grinding demonstration back in Master Abrasives’ showroom in Daventry.

“We will have a dedicated applications engineering team available to provide technical advice at MACH 2024. We can provide a cost-effective, productive solution including the machine, the right abrasives, coolant nozzles and dressers for a high-quality finished part.”

Other partners promoted on the Master Abrasives stand this year include Q8 Oils for coolant, KW Abrichttec GmbH for spindles and spindle repair and measuring equipment by Innovative Automation Products. Master Abrasives can also put visitors in contact with an experienced finance company if required.
