The Blue Moon™ TZ is an innovation developed by the R&D department of Krebs & Riedel. The Blue Moon™ TZ extends the Blue Moon product family. It is characterized by high cutting performance and high metal removal rates. The abrasive grain used in the Blue Moon™ TZ is very sharp-edged, microcrystalline and has an elongated trapezoidal rod shape. Blue Moon™ TZ grinding wheels are particularly impressive due to their very low thermal load in the contact zone. The high profile retention of our grit combination leads to extended dressing intervals at high stock removal rates and increases economic efficiency.

The advantages are particularly evident when processing long contact lengths. Typical applications include full cut grinding, raceway grinding and profile grinding of gears with large modules.
