Product catalog summary
Introduction
Molemab is a leading manufacturer of Vitrified CBN and Diamond grinding wheels, achieved through extensive research and development of bond systems tailored to specific superabrasive grits. The company has developed various porosity systems to enhance the grinding process based on the material and grit used.

CBN and Diamond Grits
Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) is the second hardest material, synthesized under high pressure and temperature. It offers superior hardness, thermal and chemical resistance, and sharp cutting edges compared to conventional grits. Diamond grits, mostly synthetic, are used for their superior abrasive properties.

Internal Grinding
Vitrified CBN wheels address challenges in internal grinding, especially in production setups, by significantly extending dressing cycles and improving surface integrity and dimensional tolerance. Typical applications include compressor parts, bearing races, and gear bores.

Camshaft and Crankshaft Grinding
Molemab provides solutions for grinding camshafts and crankshafts, accommodating various cam shapes and materials. Their products are used for motorbike to truck diesel engine camshafts, proving effective in maintaining high standards in bearing journals and cam profiles.

Applications
The porous structures of Molemab Vitrified CBN allow for high material removal rates, making them suitable for profile grinding applications such as broaches and gear hob cutters. The dressability of these wheels supports complex profile grinding.

Vitrified Diamond
Vitrified Diamond wheels are developed for grinding harder materials like Tungsten Carbide, offering free cutting capabilities and tighter tolerances. Molemab has experience in applications ranging from internal grinding to cylindrical roll grinding.

Dressing
Proper dressing of Vitrified CBN wheels is crucial for optimal performance. Rotary dressing systems are preferred, allowing for precise control and minimal wear. Molemab offers various dressing systems, including Turbo-Flywheel and diamond roll dressers.

Fine Grinding
Molemab has become a leader in fine grinding, where Vitrified CBN replaces lapping in many applications. The product ensures parallelism, flatness, and surface finish requirements to less than 2 microns, using innovative production methods and micron grit structures.

2 3 Knoop Hardness (kg/mm2) Years of experience have enabled Molemab to become one of the leading manufacturers of Vitrified CBN and Diamond grinding wheels. The success of this product is the result of continuous intensive research into the development of bond systems tailor made to suit individual superabrasive grits. This includes very tough blocky CBN grits, friable lower fracture strength CBN grits or the equivalent Diamond grits. Also the development of a variety of porosity systems, which can be chosen depending on the superabrasive grit used and the material being ground, has been an...

Internal grinding - Innenrundschleifen In conventional grinding, small wheels require very frequent dressing and this has meant that there has long since been a search for a more suitable abrasive. Vitrified CBN has been the answer to many problems in this difficult area of internal grinding, most especially for production grinding setups. Using Molemab Vitrified CBN can mean increases in dressing cycles up to 100 fold accompanied by improved surface integrity, better dimensional tolerance and significantly reduced cost-per-part. Due to an extensive home market in this area Molemab has focused...

7 6 Vitrified Diamond Keramisch Gebundenen Diamant Vitrified Diamond is a recent development in the field of super abrasive manufacture and has provided a new and exciting challenge to the Molemab Vitrified Superabrasive team. The driving force behind this development has been the tendency in the marketplace away from tool materials like HSS towards longer life tools in Tungsten Carbide. Thus the tool producer requires free cutting grinding wheels with the ability to remove harder materials faster and to tighter tolerances. Already Molemab has gained valuable experience with successes in applications...
