Following their appointment as Supfina’s UK representatives in 2023, Master Abrasives team has been working to meet its customer’s high-precision needs to improve efficiency and surface finish. In one case, a global bearing manufacturing group has installed the superfinishing attachment 110 for the finishing of bearings.
Explaining the application benefits for this machine, Ian Meredith, Master Abrasives’ Applications Engineering Manager explained: “We are seeing how Supfina’s decades of tool building experience, combined with our application process knowledge, can meet high-precision needs for our customers and help them to improve profitability, improve part finish and reduce process time.”
The pneumatic superfinishing attachment 110 is suitable for mounting on small and medium sized carrier machines for finishing ground and turned surfaces. In addition to cylindrical components, the attachment can also be used on flat, lightly convex or lightly concave surfaces and bores.
Supfina’s superfinishing attachments were displayed at MACH exhibition earlier this year with Supfina’s expert, Johannes Weiss, on-hand for visitors to discuss requirements with. The German manufacturer provides a broad range of solutions, whether you’re flat finishing, fine grinding, double disk grinding, superfinishing or looking for high-tech automated solutions.
