The production of abrasive tools of JSC, together with the laboratory, is constantly working on the development and production of new types of products to meet the needs of consumers, including for individual orders. The received samples are checked for compliance with all necessary requirements, are usually produced in small batches and sent to customers.

One of the last works in this regard was the development and production of circles on a bakelite bond of a straight profile measuring 250x32x32 mm, on a reinforcing glass mesh, according to the individual order of the consumer. The use of such a glass mesh allows the wheels to work under heavy loads and high cutting speeds. If the cutting speed of the wheels that were manufactured in the workshop earlier was 35-40 meters per second, then for the new wheels this indicator is 50 meters per second. 50 samples of the new wheels have already been sent to the customer.

A new, unusual type of product for the workshop, a sample of which was produced recently, is a shaped tool on a ceramic bond in the form of a plate, which is used in a special machine for peeling potatoes. The sample was made according to the recipe developed in the workshop, as well as by individual order (as an analogue of an expensive imported tool).

Many different developments of new types of circles are currently underway for a large foreign company. Circles with a diameter of 400 mm and 500 mm have already been produced and sent to the customer, which received positive feedback from this consumer. Currently, this company is developing a new high-speed tool - CHK cups.

In addition, work is underway to change the mounting holes of the abrasive tool. This is due to the fact that there is currently a trend in the world to use equipment and tools with a hole diameter of 12.7 mm. The speed of the equipment is increasing, and the requirements for the accuracy of the tool and tighter fit are also increasing.

Our standard, fixed in the technical specifications, is a landing hole with a diameter of 20 mm. Currently, at the production of abrasive tools, relevant developments will be carried out to produce a tool with a hole diameter of 12.7 mm - with the aim of providing an alternative to the consumer. If necessary, it is possible to provide high-precision dimensions of the tool in production due to the availability of diamond-cut machines.

Also, at AI production, work is underway to fulfill individual requests for circles made of white electrocorundum - new recipes, new types, hardnesses, sizes of circles, internal landing holes, etc. are being developed.

So now a lot of work is being done on new samples, which are then produced in small batches. This tool meets the technical conditions, passed the necessary tests and is used by the end user in the work.
We perform this painstaking continuous work to satisfy the needs of our customers.
Also, we continue to produce serial products for free trade, in the warehouse - in order to quickly ensure the shipment of the order to the consumer.

Small batches of custom tools previously made in the workshop are now being tested by consumers, and we expect larger orders from them in the future. Therefore, we hope to increase the volume of our production.

Today, we also continue to test new types of connections - with the aim of expanding the supplier base. The presence of proven alternative connection options will allow us not only to have a wider choice in terms of price and quality, but also to develop new types of circles with certain quality characteristics.
