Innovative and More Sustainable Tools

9.2.1 Future Requirements Common trends in grinding technology are tighter form and size tolerances, smaller surface roughness, engineered surface textures, higher productivity, and smaller process costs [KRAF08]. There is a natural trend towards higher grinding wheel speeds and higher grinding performance [KREB06]. New products and new applications demand for adjusted tools designs. The tool user […]

Casting

Casting is applied for bonds with high clay content. The casting process is more expensive and therefore being replaced by molding processes [KLOC09]. 3.2.2.2 Molding and Pressing Most vitrified bonded tools are manufactured by molding. In the past, the mixture was formed into the mold manually; today fully or partially automated systems supply and disperse […]

Measuring, Replicating and Modeling of the Tool Topography

Already in 1936, Goedecke emphasized that the process performance of a grinding tool depends strongly on the spacial distribution of the cutting edges [GOED36, EVER06, p. 383]. Several methods to measure, replicate and model the tool topography exist. Karpuschewski summarizes sensors and methods for measuring the grinding tool microtopography [KARP01, p. 131 ff]. 6.2.2.1 Tactile […]
