The new Norton AEROS impresses with exceptional precision and efficiency when grinding temperature-sensitive alloys. Thanks to innovative technologies, the powerful grinding wheel for aerospace achieves outstanding results even in demanding flat and deep grinding applications. The wheel has been specifically developed for complex processes designed for high precision, enabling reduced setup times, longer tool life, and improved workpiece quality while simultaneously increasing productivity. Extensive tests and case studies with comparable grinding solutions demonstrate the performance strength of the new grinding wheel.
The new development from Norton is characterized primarily by a unique combination of sharp grains and consistent bonding properties. The result is a significantly faster and higher material removal rate, which can reduce process times and lower operating costs. At the same time, AEROS stands for improved shape stability of the workpieces.
Improved workpiece quality and longer tool life
Thanks to the innovative bonding technology and a novel porosity structure, Norton AEROS requires less power and also less pressure during machining than comparable grinding wheels. This minimizes heat generation while maintaining the integrity of the metal. The fine, optimally distributed pore structure on the wheel ensures stable machining performance and thus consistently high quality of the manufactured parts.
The new bonding also provides a higher grain retention force, improving shape stability and reducing frequent dressing processes.
This results in a longer tool life of the wheel, leading to significant savings in wheel and dresser changes.
Significantly improved process
The performance of the Norton AEROS has been thoroughly tested in tests and case studies with comparable grinding wheels,” explains Norton application technician Stefan Ohnesorg. In the study on flat and deep grinding, a 25% longer tool life and a 20% shorter process time were demonstrated – with consistent quality of the parts, a table feed of +20%, fewer passes, and deeper cuts. The second case study on surface and deep grinding also shows a 25% longer tool life. The process time was reduced by 18% here, and the table feed was even at +50%.
