THE R&D Process
It starts with understanding
your application.We design, develop, and test solutions against your requirements.
Using the ANCA TX7 Linear, our team can test custom grinding wheels and process settings in a controlled environment.
We look at the part complexity, material, grinding requirements, and production goals to make a product recommendation.
We capture and analyze what's happening in the grinding zone.We use the data to refine performance.
The results help us evaluate wheel behavior, adjust process parameters, and make application-specific recommendations for the customer.
Specialized sensors help create a fully instrumented grinding platform for process monitoring and data collection.
frequently asked questions
put our lab to work for you
-
A turnkey solution is more than supplying a grinding wheel. CDT can develop a custom wheel for your application and test it alongside the process parameters used to run it, helping identify settings that support better performance.
-
Our team can evaluate many factors including wheel cut, wheel wear, part quality, cycle time, process efficiency, and cost-related factors.
-
Yes. The CDT Grinding Lab provides a controlled environment to test wheel performance and process variables together, helping identify opportunities to improve part quality, reduce cycle times, and extend wheel life.
-
No. The TX7 expands CDT's broader grinding development and testing capabilities. For cutting tool manufacturers, it provides a state-of-the-art platform for developing and testing EVO™ Hybrid Bond wheels, but it can also support other custom grinding wheel development.
-
No. While the ANCA TX7 Linear is particularly well suited for solid-tool and regrind applications, CDT can also use the platform to support complex, high-precision grinding applications in industries such as medical, automotive, aerospace, power generation, and electronics.
