Tiger Ceramic, INOX 2.0 cutting, grinding, combo wheels
Weiler Abrasives offers two upgrades in its high-performing lineup of Tiger 2.0 cutting, grinding, and combination wheels.
Designed to address the challenges of demanding metal fabrication industries like shipbuilding, pressure vessel and heavy equipment fabrication, the new Tiger Ceramic 2.0 and Tiger INOX 2.0 wheels help cut through inefficiencies, safety issues and labor shortages that prevent companies from doing their best work.
“For our new Tiger Ceramic and INOX 2.0 wheels, formulation makes the difference in overall performance. We went back to the lab and reimagined what was needed to make the best product. This was about more than adding fancy abrasive grains — this was about rethinking the entire formulation,” said Tony Hufford, category manager, metal fabrication. “The outcome is an optimized formula that combines the latest bond technology, unique abrasive grain selection and specially matched fiberglass reinforcement.”
Tiger Ceramic 2.0 cutting, grinding and combo wheels offer a superior combination of life and cut rate for maximum productivity. The unique design leverages innovative new ceramic grain technology that cuts extremely cool and removes material effortlessly while providing exceptional control for an improved operator experience. Wheel life has been improved by increasing grain retention and ensuring precise product wear. Extensive testing shows the new ceramic wheels deliver industry-leading product life with no reduction in cut speed — with the cutting wheels offering two times the life compared to the latest ceramic wheels on the market and the grinding/combo wheels providing up to 30% more product life. As a result, operations can get more work done with the new ceramic wheels from Weiler Abrasives.
The INOX 2.0 wheels are designed for high performance when cutting and grinding high-value stainless steel parts. Premium aluminum oxide grains provide a smooth cut rate and consistent performance. Both Tiger Ceramic and Tiger INOX wheels are contaminant-free, so they are safe to use on high-value stainless steel parts.
The Tiger 2.0 upgrade also features a QR code on the wheel for quick access to important safety information and a patent pending Optimum Use Line to help get the most out of the wheel. Using the wheel to its full life reduces changeovers, which helps users be more productive while reducing waste and abrasive spend. An advanced 2.0 bond formulation on the grinding wheels reduces uneven edge wear and chipping, improving operator experience and extending wheel life.
In addition to the new Tiger Ceramic and INOX 2.0 wheels, the full portfolio also includes Tiger Zirc (zirconia alumina) and AO (aluminum oxide) cutting, grinding and combo wheels in the 2.0 design. All 2.0 wheels deliver smooth, predictable cutting and grinding — making the work safer.
