Norton Eclipse belt

Technical Readiness Level :

TRL 9

 

Turbine blades and Nozzle Guide Vanes (NVGs) are two of the main components to be ground and finished after casting.​ After cutting, the next step is to remove the foundry gate.

Norton EclipseTM R990S 36+ belts are setting the new standard in grinding of foundry cast parts including gate removal and rough grinding of turbine rotor blades and NGVs. 

Eclipse belts feature 100% RazorStarTM engineered shaped grains, which remove more material thanks to the unique patented geometry and greater proportion of grains positioned upright, primed to cut.

Key features :

  • Higher cut rate: RazorStarTM, is a razor-sharp ceramic grain, which cuts faster and removes more material. Norton EclipseTM belts feature a higher proportion of grains oriented in the desired upright position – all primed for razor sharp cutting.​
  • Longer life: Unique patented geometry enables new razor-sharp edges to be exposed as the grain fractures. And with improved grain retention, belt-life is unparalleled.​
  • Cooler cut: The unique belt design helps to significantly reduce heat generation - maintaining cooler grinding, resulting in less thermal damage to the workpiece.
