Process Design

In order to make a sufficient analysis of the grinding process, a number of influ­ences must be taken into account, and their relevance of their respective effects on the process must be evaluated. Some essential input parameters are the grinding tool, the workpiece to be machined, the variables as well as influences derivable from cooling […]

Planar Lapping

Planar lapping is used to create flat surfaces with high surface qualities. Two method variations are distinguished. In the first case, the workpieces are freely movable and are guided over the lapping disc; in the second case they are placed in so-called carriers with restricted guidance in order to avoid reciprocal damages. The workpieces are […]

Method Variations and Applications

Common to all blasting methods is that kinetic energy is responsible for the opera­tional performance. The blasting abrasive used is also furthered and accelerated in the case of pressure blasting by fluid or gaseous carrier means. In centrifugal blasting, a centrifugal wheel accelerates the blasting abrasive. The amount of re­moval depends thereby on the mass […]

Input Variables

The input variables of the honing process can be divided into system quantities and variables (Fig. 7-7). Fig. 7-7. Process variables and result of the honing process The following system quantities represent most frequently fixed process vari­ables: • the machine, with its performance data, material rigidity and dynamic behav­iour, • the workpiece, with its properties, […]

Double-Disc Coplanar Lapping

Different from lapping with one disc is the double-sided, simultaneous machining of two opposing planar surfaces (Fig. 8-6). In this method, the workpieces are in­serted in geared carriers (rotating discs). These are held by pin rings or gear rings. Then they are driven, they rotate about both their own axis and the central axis. The […]

Free Abrasive Grinding

9.1.2 Operating Principle Defined generally, free abrasive grinding is a cutting process in which free abra­sive parts — so called chips — remove material from the workpiece surface. It is not an improvement in form and dimension which is in the foreground in this case, but rather the elimination of surface faults and the establishment […]

Detecting Chattering

Chattering represents one of the main causes of quality problems in grinding, be­cause the dimension and shape accuracy as well as the surface quality are influ­enced negatively [BAUS03, KARP01]. Chattering can be traced back to self­excitation. In the grinding process, the main causes of forced vibrations are primarily im­balance and grinding wheel eccentricity. Further possible […]
