Special Methods

9.1 Abrasive Blast Cutting According to DIN8589 [DIN78a] abrasive blast cutting is to be classified with the group machining with geometrically undefined cutting edges. In contrast to other methods in that category such as grinding, honing and lapping, it is used for a tar­geted influence of the surface layer. From this angle, it has gained […]

Dressing Monitoring

The dressing process creates the grinding wheel shape and topography required for the respective machining task. Fluctuations of the actual depth of dressing cut, temperature drift of the machine axes relative to each other and further sources of disturbance cause dressing errors and thus fluctuations in workpiece quality as well. In order to guarantee a […]

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 […]
