The participants in the seminar will be provided with the latest information on modern grinding technology to be able to solve everyday grinding problems on the spot more effectively. In the course of the seminar the latest procedures and methods of abrasive manufacturing, testing, adaptation and application as well as safety in the use of the abrasives will be discussed and presented practically.

The seminar aims at ensuring that participants will be able to choose the appropriate abrasive and grinding wheel with the help of technical documents.

By presenting application examples, we will relate to the practice, strengthening it with theoretical observations.

 
Computer programmes, facilitating a systematic recording and processing of the different kinds of grinding, in order to optimise the grinding process and make it economical in the easiest possible way, will be presented.
