Krebs & Riedel Lapping Wheels

High-performance double disc grinding wheels are designed for precision face and fine grinding applications. These wheels are available in diameters up to 1500 mm and are constructed using vitrified bonds with diamond (DIA) or cubic boron nitride (CBN) abrasives, ensuring exceptional flatness, surface quality, and shape tolerance across a variety of materials, including hardened steels, ceramics, and carbides. ​

Key Features:

• Customisable Designs: Options include various segmentations, pellet sizes (12–30 mm), and two-layer configurations to meet specific application requirements.

• Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for both single and double disc grinding machines, with or without planetary kinematics.

• Enhanced Productivity: The vitrified bond system facilitates free-cutting and porous structures, leading to higher stock removal rates and extended tool life.

• Comprehensive Support: Services encompass process analysis, specification selection, pre-testing, dressing strategies, and ongoing optimisation. ​

These grinding wheels are ideal for processing components such as sealing discs, valve plates, pump rings, bearing rings, and carbide tools, delivering superior surface finishes and dimensional accuracy.

Lapping and Polishing Agents

FLP offers a comprehensive range of abrasives designed for precision surface finishing. Their selection includes silicon carbide, boron carbide, and high-grade corundum powders for effective material removal. For chemical-mechanical polishing, cerium oxide CMP is available. Additionally, FLP provides diamond-based products—paste, powder, suspension, and spray—tailored for applications requiring exceptional surface quality and tight tolerances.

Standard Magnetfinish Powder

Designed for versatile deburring, edge rounding, and polishing tasks, Standard Magnetfinish Powder is available in a range of grain sizes:​

• Super Coarse (300–250 µm): Ideal for robust edge rounding on carbide stamps.

• Coarse (250–180 µm): Suitable for deburring steel components and edge rounding on carbide parts.

• Middle (180–100 µm): Effective for edge rounding on high-speed steel (HSS) surfaces.

• Fine (100–40 µm): Used for polishing medical tool surfaces and soft coating layers like TiN.

• Super Fine (<40 µm): Perfect for polishing motor engine parts and achieving fine surface finishes.​

This powder type is suitable for a broad range of applications, including medical instruments, automotive components, and general industrial parts.

Nanoabrasive Magnetfinish Powder

Tailored for high-precision applications, Nanoabrasive Magnetfinish Powder offers enhanced productivity and surface quality. Available grain sizes include:​

• Coarse (250–180 µm): Optimal for edge rounding on materials like carbide, CBN, and PCD, especially when larger honing radii are required.

• Middle (180–100 µm): Suitable for medium-sized radii edge rounding and polishing on carbide, CBN, and PCD components.

• Fine (100–40 µm): Designed for smaller honing radii and polishing on carbide and coating layers.​

This powder type is particularly beneficial for applications demanding precise edge preparation and superior surface finishes, such as in the cutting tool industry.
