Grinding wheels from 350 mm to 1,600 mm

NAXOS-DISKUS Schleifmittelwerke presents one of many innovations of the DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP at EMO 2023 in Hanover, as wells as Motion+Power 2023 in Detroit. With more than 150 years of experience in grinding and manufacturing of abrasives, the company is presenting innovative grinding wheels in a wide range of designs. The line ranges from standard to special grinding wheels with an outer diameter of 350 mm to 1,600 mm, which are used when machining large crankshafts for ship engines or camshafts, for example. The company focuses on optimized binding strength, temperature resistance, and better damping behavior during grinding. The goal is a longer tool service life, improved conditionability and feed and input rates for better metal removal rates.

NAXOS-DISKUS specializes in diamond and CBN grinding wheels. In addition to diamonds, CBN (cubic boron nitride) is another super-hard abrasive. In terms of hardness, both are vastly superior to conventional abrasives, such as corundum or silicon carbide.

The vitrified bonded diamond and CBN grinding wheels are precisely tailored to the DVS machines and the required grinding process, significantly shortening the dressing and profiling intervals, which improves the precision and repeatability of the machine tool at the same time. Moreover, this allows processing of very hard materials well in excess of 60 HRC.

NAXOS-DISKUS grinding wheels can be produced straight or with a coarse profile. This reduces wheel change times and increases productivity of the machine processes even further.

In close collaboration with DVS’s sister companies DVS Tooling and Buderus Schleiftechnik, NAXOS-DISKUS is striving to reduce the variety of models. This is to make warehousing feasible and allow cost-efficient tool production. The companies of the DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP thus also contribute to optimizing their customers’ the grinding processes economically.
