IMTS 2024: Weiler Abrasives showcases its portfolio of solutions for gear and roll grinding, precision grinding, metal conditioning, foundries and quality assurance.

Weiler Abrasives is showcasing a broad portfolio of industrial grinding solutions for gear grinding, precision grinding, roll grinding, metal conditioning and foundries that can help operations increase productivity and solve challenges.

“Our customers often serve industries like aerospace, automotive, medical and other manufacturers of precision components where quality, product performance and on-time delivery are non-negotiables,” says Kyle Thompson, sector manager – industrial production Americas at Weiler Abrasives. “We are dedicated to helping our customers improve their surface conditioning processes and deliver precision-made parts.”

The Weiler Abrasives approach is built upon partnership, technology and service, with the goal of providing innovative, sustainable and scalable industrial grinding solutions that are tailored to the specific needs of the customer and their industry. These goals are achieved through a program called Weiler Process Solutions (WPS), a comprehensive approach where the company’s expert application engineers evaluate a specific process to identify improvement opportunities and quantifiable cost savings.

Weiler Abrasives is also introducing Precision Express, a service that matches an in-house profiling cell with on-hand stock, which is said to cut lead times from months to days.

“Precision Express is our answer to the industry challenge of waiting months for a gear grinding wheel,” Thompson says. “We understand the urgency of servicing customers, which is why we prioritize on-time delivery of our precision gear grinding wheels directly to you.”
