The Data-Driven Solution

After comprehensively analyzing the specific requirements, we developed our innovative Fortis Mill grinding wheel technology. On-site testing produced remarkable results:

21 %
HSS G-Ratio
30 %
ICDP Material (G-ratio)
24 %
Forged Material (G-ratio)

Targets Achieved

  • Superior G-ratio performance across all material types
  • Improved surface finish quality in fewer passes
  • Multi-material versatility with one solution
  • Elimination of quality issues such as chatter marks and burning
Unleash Your Potential
  • Material-Perform
