Cylindrical Grinding
The tear resistance of the belt joint is important when it comes to leveling welds to suit the geometry of the workpiece. This is one worry you won’t have if you rely on VSM’s expertise.
Centerless grinding of tubes and bars
Consistent and reproducible roughness values across the entire prolonged service life is what VSM abrasives can deliver in centerless grinding.
Cylindrical grinding of tubes and bars using hand-held machines
Our flexible backing materials with low extensibility but high strength adapt perfectly to the workpiece geometry during cylindrical grinding with power tools, thus achieving the required scratch pattern.
Cylindrical roller grinding
Flaws are ground particularly quickly and reliably in repair grinding of rolls thanks to our patented diamond abrasive DA930X.
Planetary grinding
Optimum stock removal rates, defined surfaces and sturdy belt joints for planetary grinding is what you can expect from VSM abrasives.
