In acquiring the Turkish Egeli Egesan Group the Tyrolit Group continues to implement its business expansion strategy and has further strengthened its position on the international abrasives market.

While the Greek proverb “the mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind fine,” coined by Sextus Empiricus, was meant as a figurative expression of justice, it does hold true to gear grinding in the sense that there is a right way and a wrong way to do things because rushing the process only causes problems. Like justice, grinding takes the time it takes, but the grind is fine. So, the way to increase production, especially with the godlike largest gears, is to decrease nonproductive time with improved strategies.

At IMTS 2022, Norton ׀ Saint-Gobain Abrasives (Booth #237042, North Hall) will offer a portfolio of gear grinding products specifically designed by category to provide higher profile accuracy, supreme form holding and burn-free grinding in worm, profile, and bevel applications. Highlighting the range is an innovative dual-worm wheel design that enables two operations in one grinding wheel, substantially saving time and cost.
