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 […]
The Influence of Other Process Input Parameters and Boundary Conditions
Besides the machine variables, additional parameters exist in belt grinding that influence process behaviour and the output. This includes the force with which the belt is tightened and the form of embodiment of the contact element as well as the engagement of grinding fluids such as greases or cooling lubricants. The boundary condition of belt […]
Disturbances
The high surface qualities obtainable in principle from grinding can be negatively influenced by oscillations in the machine. Relative displacements in the grinding contact zone, caused by externally or internally induced vibrations, arise on the workpiece surface as a function of the grinding process’s kinematics and lead to more ripples and roughnesses in the ground […]
Tool Geometry
Honing stone length plays an important role in the correction of shape errors. With respect to achieving the most accurate desired cylindricity, tools with long honing stones offer the best possibility for transferring their own cylindrical shape onto the workpiece. The arrangement in Fig. 7-21a shows that when the honing stone is too short the […]
