14 Disc testing Test centre Product quality is continually tested in research and development at sia Abrasives. This enables us to guarantee a consistently high level of safety and competitiveness of our cutting and grinding discs. Why do we test cutting and grinding discs? To ensure compliance with safety standards To ensure consistent production batches To check series production To evaluate competitors in comparison tests Safety tests according to EN Bursttest One / three point side load test In order to be able to guarantee the safety of a cutting or grinding disc, it undergoes various individual test procedures. In the bursting test, the respective discs have to withstand a diameterrelated burst factor higher than the maximum working speed. Cutting and grinding discs from sia Abrasives meet the highest quality and safety standards in accordance with standard EN In addition, we also abide by the safety measures specified by the osa. All cutting and grinding discs have osa certification. 14

15 Disc testing Performance tests The performance of a cutting disc is checked by means of a hand-held test with an angle grinder on stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminium, stone or cast iron. Three different measuring instruments record the disc wear and cutting speed. This test is then repeated with the same test specimens and statistically evaluated. Cutting Grinding The performance of a grinding disc is tested using a semi-automatic robot on stainless steel and carbon steel. The weight of the grinding disc and the material are measured before and after the test, in order to evaluate the removal rate and the disc loss. 15

17 FiboTec FiboTec multi-hole An idea borrowed from nature. The innovation by sia Abrasives.

18 The Fibonacci Principle The sunflower principle Nature is a master of engineering. For all nature s diversity, there is one shape which crops up time and time again. This pattern consists of a spiral structure and is based on a string of numbers known as the Fibonacci Sequence, where each successive number is equal to the sum of the two preceding numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, Spirals such as this occur throughout nature, from the tiniest things to the biggest from snails and flowers to hurricanes and entire galaxies. The arrangement of the seeds on a sunflower is anything but random. Quite the opposite, in fact: the seeds grow in opposing, intersecting spirals to create an offset effect. This allows the sunflower to accommodate the greatest possible number of seeds without any of these seeds blocking each other s sunlight. The result: maximum light yield! 2

19 The FiboTec technology Used for FiboTec Taking inspiration from nature and the Fibonacci Sequence, sia Abrasives has developed a groundbreaking new hole pattern for its abrasives. The holes in, the abrasive disc are arranged on opposing spirals, such as are found on a sunflower. In sanding applications this hole pattern provides superior dust extraction, significantly reduced clogging and longer life of abrasive materials. Compared to standard hole patterns, FiboTec offers up to 50% faster removal rate with less dust residue on the workpiece and in the workspace. The result: higher abrasive performance thanks to maximum dust extraction! 3

20 The proof FiboTec multi-hole pattern Standard hole pattern Proven in nature. Tried and tested. As with all our innovations, FiboTec underwent stringent robot-aided testing. Conducted under laboratory conditions, these tests produced the following result: FiboTec is much more efficient than standard hole patterns. A real innovation! Performance comparison The special FiboTec multi-hole pattern provides better abrasive performance. Depending on grit and material, it achieves much faster material removal rates throughout its lifetime. Depending on material and application, FiboTec works four times longer than standard abrasive discs. > Material removal in grammes FiboTec multi-hole pattern (119-hole) Standard hole pattern (15-hole) Time in seconds > This data was obtained under the following conditions: Abrasive: 1950 siaspeed, Ø 150 mm. Grit: 400. Material: soft body filler. Machine: eccentric, 150 mm, 5 mm stroke. Backing pad: 103-hole, soft. Robotised machine under laboratory conditions. 4

21 Your advantages Standard hole pattern FiboTec multi-hole pattern Best dust extraction rates The offset between the holes on the opposing spirals ensures reliable dust extraction across almost the entire surface of the abrasive while the disc is rotating. Minimal clogging FiboTec has a big advantage, especially when working with materials that easily clog. Thanks to its superior extraction capacity, the abrasive performs measurably better even under extreme conditions and, above all, for longer than abrasives with a standard hole pattern. Works up to 50% faster than standard hole systems thanks to: Better dust extraction Less clogging Simple handling The FiboTec multi-hole system allows easy attachment of the abrasive disc to the backing pad, since the holes in the disc do not have to be matched up with the holes in the pad. Keeps working interruptions to a minimum. Easy grit size recognition With FiboTec, the grit size is easy to identify even after sanding. From 100 grit upwards, the grit size is cut into the disc by laser. That way, the grit size can be reliably determined even after use and even if the back of the abrasive disc is completely covered with dust. Collectively, these advantages make for: Higher productivity Higher process stability Better occupational health and safety 5
