An abrasive article includes a first plurality of abrasive particles and a second plurality of abrasive particles. The first plurality of abrasive particles differ in at least one of a size, an average weight and a shape from the second plurality of abrasive particles. The first plurality of abrasive particles are spaced from the second plurality of abrasive particles by at least a minimum distance in the x-axis direction, and both the first plurality of abrasive particles and the second plurality of abrasive particles extend in similar paths to one another with respect to the y-axis.

An abrasive article includes backing material, binder comprising an anionic water solubilizing material provided on at least a portion of the backing material and abrasive particles provided on at least a portion of the backing material. A method of making such an abrasive article comprises the steps of providing a backing material, applying a first binder containing an anionic water solubilizing material to the backing material, and applying abrasive particles to the backing material.

A flexible abrasive article is provided with a first, non-tacky base layer having opposed first and second major surfaces. An ink layer is disposed on the first major surface of the first base layer, while a second, thermoplastic base layer is disposed on the ink layer whereby the ink layer is located between the first and second base layers. Disposed on the second base layer is an abrasive layer such that the second base layer is located between the abrasive layer and the ink layer. Compared with conventional printed flexible adhesive articles, the provided articles improved robustness while avoiding manufacturing difficulties related to flexographic printing onto abrasive coated articles.

An abrasive body comprises portions of a first abrasive element. The portions of the first abrasive element are bonded ogether by a first binder material. The first abrasive element comprises abrasive particles bonded to a substrate by at least a second binder material. The portions of the first abrasive element are not agglomerate abrasive particles. The abrasive body has a maximum dimension, and the portions of the first abrasive element have a maximum dimension that is less than 80 percent of the maximum dimension of the abrasive body. A method of making an abrasive body is also disclosed.

A probe cleaning sheet for preventing a probe pin damage and manufacturing method thereof, during the process of a probe pin puncturing the cleaning layer, the material of the cleaning layer and the plurality of high and low density cleaning particles of abrasive material contained in the high density cleaning material and the low density cleaning material are able to efficiently scrape away foreign material from the surface of the probe pin. In addition, the negative charge carried by the silicone itself and its lipophilic characteristics are used to transfer the foreign material on the probe pin to the cleaning layer, and the protective layer is used to prevent overpressure from the probe pin directly impacting the substrate and causing damage to the tips of the probe pin.

A probe pin cleaning sheet with cleaning power and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed, comprising a release layer, a cleaning layer, and a substrate. Thus, in the process that the probe pin pierces the cleaning layer, through the material of cleaning layer, and the cleaning grains of abrasive material contained in the cleaning material in the cleaning layer, the cleaning power is increased to scrape off dirt from the surface of probe pin. In addition, by the negative charges and lipophilic property of the silicone itself, the dirt on the probe pin can be transferred onto the cleaning layer.

An abrasive belt having a backing and an abrasive layer adhered to the backing by a make coat resin and the abrasive layer comprising a plurality of shaped abrasive particles. A first belt side and a second belt side opposing the first belt side with the first and second belt sides generally aligned with a longitudinal axis of the grinding belt. The belt having at least 30% of the shaped abrasive particles in the abrasive layer having a first face and placed onto the backing such that an angle between the first face and the longitudinal axis is greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 20 degrees.

The present disclosure provides systems, devices, and methods for abrasive articles and manufacturing the same. A method includes receiving, at a shaped abrasive particle placement tool comprising cavities (1020), shaped abrasive particles (502, 504), determining whether a threshold number of cavities of the cavities (1020) includes a shaped abrasive particle situated properly therein, in response to determining there is not a threshold number of cavities of the cavities (1020) with a shaped abrasive particle (502, 504) situated properly therein, receiving, at the shaped abrasive particle placement tool, further shaped abrasive particles, and in response to determining that at least the threshold number of cavities of the cavities (1020) includes a shaped abrasive particle (502, 504) of the shaped abrasive particles situated properly therein, releasing the shaped abrasive particles (502, 504) from the shaped abrasive particle placement tool into a binding material (508) on a substrate (506) to adhere the shaped abrasive particles (502, 504) to the substrate (506).

Various embodiments disclosed relate to a tooling apparatus and method for providing multiple orientation cavities in tooling for abrasive particles in an abrasive article or structure. An example method includes aligning a plurality of shaped abrasive particles into a pattern, including collecting the plurality of shaped abrasive particles at least partially into cavities arranged on a dispensing surface, where at least one of the cavities is configured to allow for multiple orientations of one of the plurality of shaped abrasive particles. The pattern is transferred to a backing substrate containing a layer of adhesive, and the adhesive is cured.

An abrasive article is provided that has a backing having opposed first and second major surfaces, an abrasive layer disposed on the first major surface, and a plurality of protrusions extending outwardly from the second major surface. The protrusions comprise a polymer having a Shore A hardness ranging from 5 to 90. These articles provide an alternative sanding solution enabling abrasive articles lacking an attachment layer to be handled effectively and efficiently, providing for a technically superior abrasive sheet on the marketplace that does not use or require an attachment layer.
