BLACK SlUCOIlI CARBIDE
MIIlII POUSH. .
Electro Ahrasives Corp., Buffalo, N. Y.
Metabo Corp., West Chester, Penn.
Electro Abrasives Black Silicon Carbide is ideal for lapping and mass finishing applications. Black SiC is very versatile and can be used in aerospace, blasting, coatings, composites, compounds, honing stones, kiln furniture, lapping, polishing, refrac• tories, sawing silicon and quartz, vitrified and resinoid grinding wheels, and more. Black SiC chemistry and sizing is controlled to meet exact customer requirements.
Metabo Corp. produces the Model PE7175 7-in. mini polisher, which features variable speed con• trol, allowing for use on a variety of base materi• als. Speed at rated load is almost equal to the no-load speed. This 5-lb tool also comes equipped with double insulation to protect against electric shock, as well as a winding protection grid to deflect airborne debris away from armature wind• ings. With a no-load speed of 700-2,000 rpm, the PE7175 has a maximum torque of 88-in. lb.

ABRASNI CORD
Mitchell Ahrasives Co., Middleton, Mass. Mitchell abrasive cord can be used to sand, debur,
clean, or smooth hard-to-reach places and can be used on virtually any material. It can be used on pipe threads, for cleaning or repairing parts on ma• chinery, tools, or producing that perfect finish to metal surfaces. The cord is flexible but sturdy enou~h to remove rust, metal fragments, paint, or sharp impediments on metal-finishing project..<;. It is more effective and time-efficient to use Mitchell abrasive cord rather than cutting and fitting sand• paper.

IIOBOne FINISHING SYSTEM
Acme Mfg. Co., Auburn Hills, Mich.
Acme Mfg. Co. introduces an automated robotic finishing system for knee and hip implants. The modular system will perform abrasive belt (gate grinding, form grinding, parting line removal, and finish polishing) and buffing operations. The robot cell reduces labor costs by 75% versus conven• tional finishing methods. The cell includes "Pol• isher Friendly" software with PC-base interface. The system features on-line diagnostics and doc• umentation with remote troubleshooting via mo• dem. Media life and process management control software can reduce media cost by 60%. The man• ufacturer provides turnkey system service includ• ing tooling design and build, process development, programming, and site start-up training.
