Swivel or suffer the consequences
The Grinding Doc: Grinding flat on flat almost always produces pain and suffering.
Operation / Process
Grinding (Surface, Cylindrical, Tool & Cutter)
Blue-Kote Soft Material Application Flap Disc
Because aluminum has a much lower melting temperature than other metals, keeping aluminum cool while grinding and finishing is a big challenge for welders and fabricators. The Blue-Kote disc cloth's net structure resists clogging on soft materials, and its sanded surface stays cooler and avoids burning the work surface.
SHUR-KUT Zirconia Grinding Aid Quick Change Discs
With a smaller diameter, quick change discs provide ease of use on intricate parts and excellent control when shaping or blending surface portions, especially on flat surfaces. Moderate flexibility of quick change discs and their holders allows contouring and access to inner corners. These unique quick change functionality reduces changeover downtime and eases transitions between grit, material, or even abrasive type where multi-step processes are required.
Reduce regenerative chatter
How varying the wheel and/or workpiece rpm reduces chatter risk.
Minimicromar3 Gauge
The Minimicromar3 is designed for measuring external diameters, positioning and length for both smooth and interrupted surfaces. It can measure workpieces from 25mm to 42.5mm with a measuring range of ±100 µm and a repeatability of ≤0.1 µm. It is designed with a high degree of protection against coolant and abrasive substances. Its low thermal drift value (<0.1 µm/°C) helps maintain high measurement precision.
GSH 200A Thread Grinding Machine
The machine's capabilities include a 15 kW direct-drive motor that produces maximum wheel spindle speed of 6000 m/min. X-axis stroke of 330mm features a rapid feed rate of 5m/min, Z-axis stroke is 2150mm with 10m/min rapid feed, and maximum work spindle speed is 200 rpm.
TCI Precision’s machine-ready blanks program
TCI Precision Metals launched a program to provide customers with first article sample parts on request with accompanying production volume quotation.
Process for Double‐Rough Pinch Grinding
Pinch grinding offers accurate geometrical dimensions on the blank and tight surface finish requirements. In pinch grinding, the roughing and finishing wheels grind parts simultaneously, with the finishing wheel trailing the roughing wheel. The rough and finish grinding are performed in one pass. This innovative way to cylindrically grind parts eliminates separate processes and reduces cycle time. n
Studer Machine uses lasers to measure grinding process
Grinding jobs requires strict tolerances. On grinding machines, the tolerances for the dimensions, form and position of finishing processes run tight, and in many cases, shops check these specifications against hard data. Studer machines can use cameras and laser systems to in-process measurements.
Introducing the Walter Helitronic Power 400 Tool Grinding Machine
You are looking for a powerful, flexible, reliable, and rigid tool and cutter grinding machine with an easy-to-use control and a variety of available options, including part loading and tool changing automation.
Crankshaft facility grinds flanges and journals simply and precisely
The ThyssenKrupp Crankshaft Co. in Danville, Illinois, operates up to 21 shifts per week to produce forged crankshafts for the North American heavy-duty automotive, truck, and engine markets. Meeting production needs requires precise technology, including a Zema Numerika GH1500 grinding machine from Junker.
Benefits of Abrasive Technology electroplated grinding wheels
Abrasive Technology Inc. discusses how superabrasive grinding wheels and tools with electroplated bonds are able to maintain tight-tolerance forms, provide freer cutting, and hold form or profile from the first cut to the last. In addition, the tools can be stripped and replated.
