JTEKT recently demonstrated a new double-disc horizontal grinder that simultaneously grinds both sides of silicon wafers to +/- 1 micron from as-sliced condition. The DXSG320 performance represents a massive improvement in accuracy and productivity over the single-spindle vertical grinders common in the chip industry today which grind to 3-4 microns, according to the company.

How can the protective layer be applied to the brake disk more quickly and more effectively? And how can it be made to stay on for longer? “The solution is intelligent coatings, as can be applied to brake disks using our AM coating system” says Dr. Géza Koscsák - the head of additive mat the Chiron Group. He has played a prominent role in developing the new system and reaching the decision to opt for the high-speed deposition welding process in his previous job as head of advanced development. 

Roundness testers, surface analyzers and lead angle detection inspection benches - instrumentation to measure roundness, cylindricity, surface finish and lead angle shaft seals have all existed separately for a long time.
