• WEILER ABRASIVES TO SHOWCASE THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF ABRASIVES AT FABTECH 2023 (Jul 19, 2023)

  NEW TIGER® 2.0 CUTTING, GRINDING AND COMBO WHEELS WILL BE AMONG THE BONDED AND COATED ABRASIVES OFFERINGS FEATURED AT BOOTH B33027  

  CRESCO, Pa. — June 29, 2023 — Weiler Abrasives, a leading provider of abrasives, power brushes and maintenance products for surface conditioning, announced it will attend FABTECH 2023, Sept. 11 to 14 at McCormick Place in Chicago.  

  Visitors to booth B33027 can find surface conditioning solutions to help them increase uptime and improve productivity, as well as overcome labor constraints, health and safety issues, and increasing expectations. They can learn more about solutions for a variety of industries, including shipbuilding and general fabrication, and a brand-new line of Tiger 2.0 zirconia alumina and aluminum oxide cutting, grinding and combo wheels. In addition to offering fast cutting speed, Tiger 2.0 wheels last up to 40% longer to increase efficiency in operations’ cutting and grinding applications. The 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 operator use the wheel to its full life. This innovation reduces changeovers, allowing for greater productivity while also reducing waste and abrasive spend. Tiger 2.0 grinding wheels also feature anti-chipping technology, an advanced bond formulation that reduces uneven edge wear and chipping to improve safety and the user experience and extend wheel life. 

  Weiler Abrasives specialists will also be scheduling consultations at the booth to help visitors understand their abrasive spend, along with ways to increase productivity and eliminate grinding and finishing bottlenecks. These can’t-miss consultations will include a thorough discussion of the steps needed to overcome challenges in the surface conditioning process, whether they are related to labor, safety or increased customer demand. Specialists can also offer recommendations for better ways to grind and finish stainless steel, Inconel, aluminum and other hard-to-work-with materials — and how to choose the right abrasive for specific applications.

• WEILER ABRASIVES INTRODUCES TIGER® 2.0 CUTTING, GRINDING AND COMBO WHEELS (Jul 19, 2023)

  AN EVOLUTION IN ABRASIVES DESIGNED TO HELP OPERATORS PRODUCE THEIR BEST WORK  

  CRESCO, Pa. — June 27, 2023 — Weiler Abrasives, a leading provider of abrasives, power brushes and maintenance products for surface conditioning, is excited to announce the next evolution of abrasives — Tiger 2.0 zirconia alumina and aluminum oxide cutting, grinding and combo wheels. 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 Tony Hufford, category manager – Metal Fabrication 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.” 

  In addition to offering fast cutting speed, Tiger 2.0 wheels last up to 40% longer to increase efficiency in operations’ cutting and grinding applications. The 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 operator use 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 than with their previous abrasives.  

  Tiger 2.0 grinding wheels feature anti-chipping technology, an advanced bond formulation that reduces uneven edge wear and chipping to improve safety and the user experience and extend wheel life. 

  All of the wheels deliver smooth, predictable cutting and grinding — making the work safer. The addition of a QR code on the wheels makes it convenient for operators to access crucial safety information where and when they need it.  

  Weiler Abrasives took today’s labor shortages into consideration when formulating the Tiger 2.0 wheels. The wheels produce consistent results among different users to reduce training time and minimize rework. The wheels also make cutting and grinding easier to lessen operator fatigue and improve employee retention.  

  Tiger 2.0 wheels are available in Type 1, Type 27 and Type 28 options. These wheels range in size from 4 to 9 inches and are intended for use on portable angle grinders.

• WEILER ABRASIVES EXPANDS SPOT SAFETY TRAINING PROGRAM (Jul 19, 2023)

  TRAINEES LEARN SAFE, EFFECTIVE USE OF ABRASIVES AND BRUSHES AND WAYS TO IDENTIFY HAZARDS

  CRESCO, Pa. — December 13, 2022 — Weiler Abrasives, a leading provider of abrasives, power brushes and maintenance products for surface conditioning, has expanded its safety training program based on the SPOT (Speed & Size, Pressure, Orientation, Time) methodology. The program now includes a video series of six focused training modules for cutting wheels; grinding and combo wheels; cups, cones and plugs; coated abrasives; power brushes; and general abrasives and brushes. Videos are available in English with a Spanish version available in the first quarter of 2023.

  “The safe use of our abrasive products is our priority. The more we can raise awareness of safety best practices, the better protected our customers will be,” said Nate Schmid, director of global marketing, Weiler Abrasives Group. “Work-related injuries cost US businesses $160 billion a year. The Weiler SPOT Safety Program can help companies reduce costs by lessening the risk of workplace injuries that lead to workers’ compensation claims.”

  Weiler Abrasives representatives can conduct SPOT safety training onsite or virtually, and the program includes classroom training with optional hands-on training. Participants will learn to understand the basic principles of abrasives safety according to SPOT methodology. This includes how to use the appropriate abrasives speed and product diameter (Speed & Size), applying the appropriate force (Pressure), positioning the abrasive at the correct angle to the work surface (Orientation), and controlling the length of use and product wear (Time). Trainees will earn to identify potential hazards associated with abrasives use and implement safe work practices. They will receive a certificate of completion when done. In addition to training, Weiler Abrasives offers an on-site assessment to help identify opportunities for improvement regarding the safe and proper use of abrasives and brushes.
