The primary variable of this variant is normal force with which the workpiece is pressed against the grinding belt. The depth of cut is a result of the amount of pressure force, the abrasive belt’s topography, the component material and other process variables like the cutting and workpiece speeds. The pressure force is related to […]

The Influence of Grinding Wheel Wear
The wear processes on the abrasive grain and the bond described in chapter 2.4 lead to changes to the tool topography during the grinding process. At the beginning of the process, a rough grinding wheel surface with a multitude of sharp grain cutting edges at varying cutting edge depths can be observed. In the course […]
Machining Time
The work result, especially workpiece roughness, is dependent in particular on the machining time. The roughness, resulting from pre-machining has to be improved by the honing process and leads to a typical temporal course (Fig. 7-18). Initially the peaks of roughness are removed quickly. After a relatively short machining time, the surface roughness asymptotically approaches […]
Parameters
As discussed above, the lapping process is influenced by numerous technologically-based marginal conditions. An overview of these is given in Fig. 8-10. Kinematics Lapping plate Slurry Machine Workpieces • Rotational • Material • Grain material • Normal force • Material speeds • Slot configu- • Grain size • Machine • Geometry • Dimensions ration and […]
Cutting with Bonded Grain
In the case of cutting wire grinding, wires with bonded abrasive material, usually diamond, are used (Fig. 9-10). Galvanic or synthetic resin-bonds have so far generally been used for the bond system. By using bonded grains, we can do away with an additional lapping suspension. In this process, material removal is very similar to that […]
Grinding with Constant Depth of Cut
This is a little used procedure in belt processes in comparison to grinding with constant pressure force. Growing quality demands on components however are leading to wider use of methods with constant depth of cut. For example, it is used for a perfectly measured and fitting manufacture of functional and sealing surfaces. Further areas of […]
Multistage Processes
High material removal rates and the highest surface quality are mutually exclusive. For this reason, shortening the machining time by increasing the material removal rate is faced with severe limitations when the material removal rate is constant during the process. In this case one speaks of a single-staged process. In roughing (Fig. 6-124), the volume […]
Tool Shape and Specifications
Corresponding to a multifaceted spectrum of parts, a broad range of different tools is used in honing, particularly in longitudinal stroke honing of holes. The differences are a result on the one hand of a range of diameter of approximately 2 to 1500 mm. The amount of space available in a given hole and different […]
Applications
The aim of coplanar lapping is to achieve high flatness in combination with a consistent surface quality for all workpieces. Also, the percent contact area is increased by levelling the roughness peaks. On account of these properties, lapping is often used in the finishing of ceramic sealing rings. In the following, we will introduce the […]
Cutting with Unbonded Grain
Cutting wire lapping (Fig. 9-11) is these days the dominant and most widespread technique. It is used especially in mass markets. Although this method has been utilised industrially for some time, knowledge of the process is still mostly of an empirical nature. Theoretical findings and process models exist only to a limited extent and are […]
