Abstract:
The method generally involves the steps of filling the cavities in a production tool each with an individual abrasive particle. Aligning a filled production tool and a resin coated backing for transfer of the abrasive particles to the resin coated backing. Transferring the abrasive particles from the cavities onto the resin coated backing and removing the production tool from the aligned position with the resin coated backing. Thereafter the resin layer is cured, a size coat is applied and cured and the coated abrasive article is converted to sheet, disk, or belt form by suitable converting equipment.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of making a patterned abrasive layer on a resin coated backing comprising the steps of:\n moving a production tool along a web path, the production tool comprising a dispensing surface comprising cavities; supplying precisely-shaped abrasive particles to the dispensing surface of the moving production tool, wherein the cavities of the production tool correspond in shape to the precisely-shaped abrasive particles; filling at least a majority of the cavities in the dispensing surface with the precisely-shaped abrasive particles while the production tool is moving along the web path; aligning the resin coated backing with the dispensing surface with a resin layer facing the dispensing surface; transferring the precisely-shaped abrasive particles in the cavities to the resin coated backing and attaching the precisely-shaped abrasive particles to the resin layer; and removing the production tool to expose the patterned abrasive layer on the resin coated backing.
