VSM STEARATE Plus fibre disc XF733 optimizes the grinding process for demanding NF metals and aluminium. Reduced chip adhesion and hence less clogging result in double the amount of stock removal and double the service life.

This has been demonstrated through numerous tests performed for a variety of applications at the VSM Technical Centre in Hanover.

STEARATE Plus significantly reduces chip adhesion
"NF metals such as aluminium, bronze and copper are very demanding materials, which tend to clog the abrasive prematurely", states Dennis Senning, VSM Product Manager. When that happens, chips are not removed. They accumulate on the grain tips and after some time, a built-up edge is formed.

Doubling the service life
Field tests demonstrated that XF733 has double the service life compared to the currently leading abrasive when grinding aluminium superstructures for the automotive industry. Similar results of an increase in the service life were achieved when grinding window frames.

And XF733 scored high in another area: The temperature in the contact area is usually extremely high. Backing materials of other products tend to warp and blister. The vulcanized fibre backing of the VSM STEARATE Plus disc, on the other hand, is extremely heat-resistant and remains fully efficient until it reaches the end of its service life.

An Ironworker is a class of machines that can shear, notch, and punch holes in steel plate. The name is now used to refer an entire class of machines. If there ever was a brand name, it's become a genericized trademark.

Ironworkers generate force using mechanical advantage or hydraulic systems. Modern systems use hydraulic rams powered by a heavy AC electric motor. High strength carbon steel blades and dies of various shapes are used to work the metal. The machine itself is made of very heavy steel to handle the enormous force that can be generated during use. The Amada Marvel Spartan Series Ironworkers are rated according to the force they can generate in tons; ratings usually start at 60 tons and go as high as 192 tons.

A typical ironworker from Amada Marvel will have:

The Kalamazoo Machine Tool model C370 A-NC EXT cold saw is a fully automatic, heavy-duty vertical column machine engineered for vibration-free sawing. The 48-in. index feeder enables production of longer workpieces without having to stop and reset indices.

The saw features infinitely variable blade speed control from 13 to 89 RPM to enable fine-tuning for precise sawing of difficult materials. The saw frame can be swiveled for mitering to any desired angle up to 45 degrees left or 60 degrees right. The pendant-mounted NC console has soft-touch controls for all setup and sawing operations, including height/depth controls.

VSM ACTIROX is the latest generation of abrasives. It stands for maximum stock removal. Thanks to its geometrically shaped ceramic grain its cut is extremely aggressive and fast, leading to maximum stock removal.

This works particularly well with alloyed steel, stainless steel and carbon steel. An impressive increase in productivity can be achieved using the abrasive in conjunction with the new back-up pad VSM TURBO PAD.
