The new abrasive disks SPX CONTECH operators now use have an abrasive grain that is a proprietary ceramic aluminum oxide mineral that is designed to cut through metal quickly.

The disk contributed to a smoother run with better disk performance, according to Mike Schieber, the company’s director of operations. The disks have a one-piece, nylon construction that is supposed to eliminate button delamination for better grinding balance and notably smoother running. The disks SPX CONTECH previously used produced some vibration because some of the buttons were slightly off-center.

“The button on the Roloc Disc 988R is precisely centered, providing better balance,” said Pete Steinhagen, 3M Abrasive Systems Division marketing manager.

SPX CONTECH also found the abrasive disks to be more durable, even in corners.

“According to our records, we were able to use the same disk for up to three shifts when we were previously using several disks per shift, substantially improving operator productivity,” Schieber said. “We’re very happy that we are able to produce three times the number of parts per disk, while seeing better product quality.”
