Aka-Piatto Grinding Discs
Aka-Piatto
Alternate to Grinding Papers
Aka-Piatto is a series of diamond grinding discs in grit sizes P80 to P1200. Aka-Piatto plane and fine grinds all material harder than HV150. Unique to Aka-Piatto is the color coded binder.
· Replaces 200 to 300 pcs. of grinding paper
· Grinds material with hardness higher than 150 Hv
· Constant removal rate, and perfect planeness
· Rounded edge, no chance of injuries
Aka-Piatto+
Alternative to diamond grinding discs
Aka-Piatto+ is a high concentration version of Aka-Piatto. By doubling the diamond concentration a much smoother grinding action and longer life is obtained.
The smoother grinding is just what is needed for grinding ceramics, cermets and hard metals without deep deformation.
Aka-Piatto+ is a very favorably economic solution compared to the often very costly diamond grinding discs.
Quick preparation
Plane surfaces shortens preparation time
Aka-Piatto is a diamond grinding discs. Diamonds are fixed in a resin binder, as the binder wears, new exposed diamonds maintain a constant removal rate¹.
Diamonds are so hard, that they cut through all materials with approximately the same cutting depth. Therefore the planeness is much better than grinding paper, and the next preparations are consequently faster.
Using automated grinding, one can take advantage of using just two grinding steps. First an initial plane grinding step, f.ex. Aka-Piatto 80, followed by a fine grinding step on Aka-Piatto 1200, or Aka-Allegran.
¹ When grinding very hard materials, the wear of the binder is reduced, due to the reduced scratch depth. In such cases the surface must be dressed using a dressing stone, to introduce new sharp diamonds, and restore the grinding power of Aka-Piatto.
Rounded edge
No danger of injuring your fingers
Aka-Piatto has a rounded edge. Thus it is no longer dangerous to touch the egde like it still is on competing systems.
The magnetic discs surface stays clean and dry¹
The edge also makes sure the surface of the magnetic discs stays clean and dry, thus improving the lifespan of the magnetic discs. For a more in depth explanation please read further under Aka-Ronan.
¹Some water can be sprayed up under the edge, due to turbolence in the equipment. The amount of water is depending on the design of the equipment, some are worse than others.
Environmental
One Aka-Piatto replaces 200 - 300 pieces of grinding paper
Just think about the reduction in waste, when you save 200 to 300 pieces of grinding paper, for each Aka-Piatto you use.
The actual amount saved depends on the material, the amount of dressing, and the equipment used. Soft materials, repeating dressing and vibrating equipment wears Aka-Piatto faster.
