Tyrolit Limited

New superabrasive product minimises vibration, consumes less energy and is easier to handle For external cylindrical grinding of automotive components such as camshafts, crankshafts and gear shafts in large volumes, Tyrolit has launched a range of vitrified CBN (cubic boron nitride) wheels that have a reinforced carbon fibre core. The new product, called GENIS CF, weighs one fifth of a conventional steel-cored grinding wheel.

More than 7,500 tonnes of heavily reinforced concrete containing river gravel aggregate has been cut into blocks and removed during a controlled demolition project at New Street Station in Birmingham. The latest diamond wire sawing machines and consumables from Tyrolit were used to cut 735 square metres of concrete over a continuous work programme ending late November 2010.
