Norton Winter AEON Electroplated Grinding Wheels are for high precision applications in the automotive, medical, and aerospace markets. An innovative design and manufacturing process give AEON wheels the ability to hold an extremely tight profile tolerance of ± 5µm at a maximum wheel diameter of ~24 in. (600 mm) and width ~12 in. (300 mm), weighing up to 551 lb. (250 kg).
Norton Winter AEON Grinding Wheels have a single usable abrasive layer design, with diamond or cBN particles mechanically fixed onto the core surface by an electrochemical process of nickel deposition. This unique layer design provides high grit retention levels for long wheel life. To save costs, the wheel core can be re-used. Once the abrasive grains are worn, the core of the wheel can be re-plated with new diamond or cBN grain in a continuous re-plating cycle.
