Dressing Tools
Hand-Set Profile Roller – Artificial Knee Joints
Hand-set diamond dressing rollers with CVD diamonds for machining knee implants made from cobalt-chromium alloys.
EHWA spent years developing special grinding wheel bonds and diamond dressing rollers for machining knee implants. Today, EHWA supplies world-leading knee implant manufacturers with highly efficient grinding wheels and dressing tools.
Artificial knee joints are widely used in modern medicine today and help many people move without pain. Knee implants are predominantly milled and ground with high precision from special cobalt-chromium alloys. The special alloy of the material and its individual shape require specialized grinding and dressing tools.
