Product news 2017

Product news for medical and tooling industry

From 18 - 23 September 2017, the leading international trade fair will once more offer a large number of recent innovations and official market launches.


This year there will be a focus on medical technology. Both super abrasives and conventional grinding and polishing tools for finishing orthopaedic components as well as for medical instruments, injection needles and for dentistry.

In addition, two new product highlights will be presented for the first time on the TYROLIT stand - the COOL CUT 2 (for the knife industry) and the STARTEC PG-2 (for the tooling industry).

Grinding tools for machining orthopaedic components

TYROLIT will present special high performance tools for machining cobalt chrome and ceramic materials for hip and knee joints that can be tailored to customer requirements.


With knee joint machining, ceramic CBN grinding tools, for example, lead to lower process times and thus reduce costs per component. TYROLIT also offers grinding tools that can be replated with a grinding layer height of up to 20 mm for fewer tool changes. When manufacturing hip joints and cups, TYROLIT polishing tools provide a particularly high surface quality. Using this innovative grinding tool set, comprising pre-grinding, fine-grinding and polishing honing sleeves, TYROLIT reduces the number of process steps from 5 to 3 steps and thus the machining time by up to 50%.

STARTEC PG2

Grinding tools for high-speed external cylindrical longitudinal grinding


Based on our experience with the grinding tools from the STARTEC PG-1 product line, new solutions for rough grinding using a peel grinding technique evolved from resolute development work. Due to the unique wheel composition, a new high-strength metal bond and innovative diamond qualities the STARTEC PG-2 grinding wheels offer convincing performance. The process is carried out with an extremely low grinding noise level, wear is significantly reduced, whilst having improved surface quality and an especially high stock removal performance.

Reduced grinding noise

The innovative wheel composition, carefully harmonized raw materials and an optimal process setting selected by TYROLIT application engineers have reduced grinding noise to an absolute minimum.

Highest stock removal performance

The use of new specifications enables a feed increase of up to 20 % when rough grinding.

Quickest availability

Selected STARTEC PG-2 grinding and dressing tools are kept in stock and can therefore be supplied swiftly.

Low wheel wear

The combination of a new wheel construction together with an optimized specification reduces the wheel wear by up to 10 %.

COOL CUT 2

Grinding and polishing tools for the cutlery industry

High-performance grinding tools with cool grinding and defined porosity for knife grinding


With the COOL CUT 2, TYROLIT has established yet another milestone in cool grinding. The completely redesigned bond can be adapted to the specific challenges of an application by being given a defined porosity. This keeps the COOL CUT 2 at a significantly lower temperature during the grinding operation.

Cool grinding

The newly developed bond of the COOL CUT 2 achieves very cool grinding during the knife grinding process, preventing burning on cutlery that is difficult to machine.

Defined porosity

Now, for the first time in an epoxy resin-bonded grinding tool, a defined porosity can be achieved, bringing the best possible cool grinding within reach.

2in1 application

The COOL CUT 2 is also available as a two-layer wheel. This tried and tested combination tool for grinding and polishing in a single operation considerably increases the productivity of the knife grinding process.

Technical application expertise

The COOL CUT 2 is available for all knife grinding machines and applications and is customised for each specific process by our experienced TYROLIT application engineers.
