Balancing of Rotating Wheels in the Tool Spindle by Automatic Balancing Systems

Weights are moved electromechanically inside the balancing system to compensate for the original imbalance. The balancing systems can be mounted on the tool flange or inside the tool spindle [MPM12]. The position of the two masses inside the balancing system results in one angle between the masses and another angle between resulting force and tool […]

Sustainability Dimensions to Grinding Wheel Micro-Design and Wear

6.6.1 Technological Dimension Tool wear and conditioning are important factors for the tool user as they define product quality, grinding forces, maximum material removal rate and auxiliary times. Grinding tool performance impacts workpiece dimensions and surface integrity. Tool manufacturers are able to generate desired tool capabilities within a certain range, but the tool use also […]

Functional Requirement to Suppress Chemical Reactions

Chemical reactions arise from the reactivity between the system components. Therefore, low chemical reactivity between all system components including grits, tool bonding, workpiece material, cooling lubricants and their additives is favored (Fig. 7.29). In addition, low mechanical pressure slows down chemical reactions as does low heat, which has been tackled earlier. Brinksmeier and Wilke [BRIN04] […]

Porosity Builders

In vitrified bonded wheels, the natural packing of the abrasive particles leaves certain porosity [DAVS04]. Additional pore builders produce higher porosity when they sublimate or burn off during the sintering process. Pore builders are typically either hollow particles or fugitive materials [MARI07]. Hollow particles such as hollow ball corundum, glass beads, or mullite maintain a […]
