The cornerstone of the Krebs & Riedel grinding wheel factory in Bad Karlshafen, Germany, was laid some 125 years ago. Today the family-owned company operates worldwide as a manufacturer of precision grinding wheels for the automotive, aerospace, mechanical engineering, medical technology and wind power sectors. Krebs & Riedel has subsidiaries in China and India and a distribution network in more than 30 countries.
In addition to conventional grinding wheels, cutting wheels, cup grinding wheels and grinding segments with ceramic and synthetic resin bonds, Krebs & Riedel also manufactures CBN and diamond tools with ceramic bonds as well as honing rings. Krebs & Riedel grinding wheels are used on grinding machines such as Gleason, Kapp-Niles, Klingelnberg, Liebherr, Mitsubishi, Reishauer and Samputensili.
"Krebs & Riedel relies on extensive R&D and works closely with several research institutions, and also invests in sustainability management," said a company spokesperson.
The product lineup includes corundum and silicon carbide wheels with a ceramic bond and synthetic resin bond for most industrial grinding applications up to 900 mm O.D. for round, flat, tool, centerless, gear and rough grinding applications. Cut-off wheels in synthetic resin bond with and without fiber reinforcement produce up to 800 mm O.D. for chop cut, pendulum cutting and rotary cutting.
Additional solutions include: roughing and pendulum grinding with and without fiber reinforcement for the cleaning shop and the foundry industry; grinding wheels for pendulum grinding machines; grinding wheels for bench grinders; grinding wheels for grinding manipulators; and diamond and CBN grinding media in vitrified bond with a working speed of up to 200 m/s for internal, flat, circular, tool grinding and special grinding processes.
Additional product highlights include Blue Moon wheels for continuous generating grinding; a wide range of dressable grinding worms with a ceramic bond for gear machining; and re-coatable CBN worm grinding wheels on a carbon carrier.
