Four new product developments for automobile and tooling industry

At the world leading fair for grinding technologies, TYROLIT presents in addition to numerous products, the GENIS 2 and SKYTEC XD-1, as well as further innovations from the STARTEC family for tool grinding.

GENIS 2

Vitrified-bonded CBN grinding tools for external cylindrical grinding


With the new GENIS 2 product line, TYROLIT is taking external cylindrical grinding to a whole new level of performance. The extended range of applications now makes the peel grinding of gear shafts possible, thanks to the use of the latest vitrified-bonded CBN technology. This innovative, high-strength bond features excellent wetting properties that enables optimum bonding of the CBN grain. A blue neutral zone protects the steel, aluminium or carbon-fibre body from damage and allows the CBN layer to be fully utilised. In addition, the strength of the bond allows for a reduction in bond volume creating a very open and extremely easy cutting structure with improved cooler grinding characteristics and a longer lifetime. The GENIS 2 from TYROLIT guarantees shorter cycle times and longer dressing cycles for users, thus minimising component costs

Further information

Optimum grain utilisation

The blue neutral zone creates a visual separation between grinding layer and the core. This provides for optimum utilisation of the CBN grain and protection of the core.

High economic efficiency

The new GENIS 2 specifications guarantee maximum stock removal performance and increase production capacity.

High running precision

The ground bores and contact surfaces in conjunction with finely balanced wheels increase running precision and reduce tool changing times.

SKYTEC XD-1

X-treme diamond content for top performance in machining PCD and PCBN


“During the grinding process, the abrasive grit does all the work.” This is the guiding principle that shaped the development of SKYTEC XD-1. As a result, the new product line boasts an extremely high proportion of diamond grain, which is embedded in a specially developed bond. This leads to a considerably higher stock removal rate that significantly reduces both the grinding time per PCD indexable insert and the element of chip damage of the cutting edge. Therefore the quality of the cutting edge achieved is also outstanding. The new SKYTEC XD-1 increases the number of grinding products available for machining PCD and PCBN indexable inserts and, in particular, broadens the spectrum of possible applications. With this innovative grinding solution, TYROLIT is responding to the increasing performance demands for indexable insert manufacturing. 

Further information

Shorter grinding time

The high diamond concentration and the perfectly matched open bond system lead to increased stock removal rates and short grinding cycles.

Maximum lifetime

Long tool life and therefore shorter non-productive process times are achieved through high adhesion strength of the diamond grain in a vitrified bond.

High cutting-edge quality

The high quality requirements in PCD/ PCBN machining can be optimally met through the special combination of diamond and bond content.

STARTEC RC

Metal-bonded grinding tools for flute grinding


TYROLIT is setting new standards in high-performance flute grinding with its STARTEC RC product line, which exhibits exceptionally low grinding forces and optimum stock removal rates with minimal profile wear. For example, the normal grinding force can be reduced by up to 26 per cent when flute grinding at a specific stock removal rate of Q’w=9mm3/mms. STARTEC RC´s higher feed rates enable users to boost productivity even further. This grinding tool guarantees top precision and an optimum surface finish on the ground workpiece. STARTEC RC optimises the processing of large workpieces and its benefits are particularly evident in applications that require high rates of stock removal.

Further information

Low grinding forces

The combination of process optimised diamond quality, the new metal bond system and innovative production technology guarantee low grinding forces.

Shorter grinding times

The optimum matching of the diamond concentration to the new bond properties delivers higher stock removal rates and shorter grinding cycles.

Reduced profile wear

The special combination of diamond and bond volume increases the edge stability and ensures a consistently high part quality with extended intervals between dressing.

STARTEC XP-F

Polishing wheel for shank tools


The STARTEC XP-F product line is an innovative solution from TYROLIT for efficient polishing of functional surfaces on shank tools. Research and development focused specifically on ensuring targeted polishing at guaranteed levels of material removal. For this reason, STARTEC XP-F is equipped with a new synthetic resin bond with a high resistance to wear, which is combined with perfectly configured microdiamonds. This new specification allows users to fully remove all the material in the event of any dimensional inaccuracies , whilst achieving brilliant surfaces. 

Further information

Best surface finish

The combination of process- optimised diamond quality and the new bond system guarantees the best surface finish.

Low wheel wear

The new bond system boasts impressively high strength, thereby reducing the wheel wear by up to 40%

Highest precision

The use of this new specification ensures complete stock removal up to 0.2mm during the polishing process. Complete stock removal is also guaranteed in the case of stock fluctuations after the grinding process.
