Weiler Abrasives Introduces Metalynx 2.0 Cut-off, Grinding and Combo Wheels
An evolution in abrasives designed to help users perform their best work
MARIBOR, Slovenia — June 6, 2023 — Weiler Abrasives, a leading provider of abrasives and power brushes for surface conditioning, is excited to announce the next evolution of abrasives. Metalynx 2.0 cut-off, grinding and combo wheels are designed for demanding metal fabrication industries like shipbuilding, pressure vessel and heavy equipment fabrication. These abrasives help cut through inefficiencies, safety issues, and labor shortages that prevent companies from doing their best work.
“We understand that our customers’ production environments are ever-changing and many are challenged with doing more work with less labor. We listened to their feedback to determine what they want and need in their abrasives,” said Valentina Prapotnik, Product Manager at Weiler Abrasives. “The result is wheels that offer fast cut-rates with extended life that we developed through countless hours of trials and validation to provide the best product to market.”
Weiler Abrasives took today’s labor shortages into consideration when formulating the Metalynx 2.0 wheels. The wheels produce consistent results among different users to reduce training time and minimize rework. They also make cutting and grinding easier to lessen user fatigue and improve employee retention.
In addition to fast cutting speed, Metalynx 2.0 wheels last up to 40% longer to increase efficiency in operations’ cutting and grinding applications. Metalynx 2.0 grinding wheels feature anti-chipping technology, an advanced bond formulation that eliminates uneven edge wear and chipping to improve safety, the user experience and extend wheel life.
Metalynx 2.0 wheels feature an award-winning blotter design that includes an industry-first, patent-pending Optimum Use Line. The line is a visual indicator that helps the user utilize the wheel to its full life. This innovation reduces changeovers, allowing for greater productivity while also reducing waste and abrasive spend. In some cases, users experience three times more efficiency compared to their previous abrasives.
Metalynx 2.0 also features a QR code on wheels, making it convenient for users to access crucial safety information where and when they need it. All wheels deliver predictable, smooth cutting and grinding, making the work safer.
