Mirka is expanding its product portfolio with the launch of the Mirka Cafro Ultra-Flute grinding wheel range, designed for the precision grinding of solid tungsten carbide tools. This innovative product line offers users a selection of durable and precise grinding wheels, engineered to withstand the demands of large-scale production runs.
The Mirka Cafro Ultra-Flute has a single-piece construction and features an abrasive rim that has a porous structure that optimises the power transfer from the grinding machine to the material. This design ensures high stock removal rates in less time, which leads to an increase in the overall efficiency of the process.
The product has been developed with durability at its core, highlighted by its edge retention that aids in the delivery of fast, efficient, and consistent performance, so there is a reduction in cycle times. The grinding wheel also help increase productivity as there is less downtime due to the dressing intervals being longer.
The Mirka Cafro Ultra-Flute also provides the user with a quiet operation, no vibrations when in use and stable power absorption for reduced energy consumption during the time it is working. Additionally, when paired with automatic tool loaders, it performs at an optimal level and leaves a consistently fine surface finish.
Kevin Jackson, Mirka UK’s business development manager (superabrasives and automation), concluded: “With the launch of the Mirka Cafro Ultra-Flute, we are providing tool manufacturers with a cutting-edge solution that enhances productivity and reduces costs. This new grinding wheel range also highlights our commitment to providing high-quality, performance-driven grinding solutions that will be an asset to the end user from the first use to the last.”
