Grinding (Surface, Cylindrical, Tool & Cutter)

Norton Quantum Prime Wheels have several important advantages including a new micro-fracturing grain that has unparalleled sharpness and cutting efficiency which reduces power draw and cycle times, while increasing material removal rates. The unique grain is free cutting, which combined with advanced bond technologies such as Norton Vitrium3, allows Quantum Prime to wear more consistently, improving part quality, geometry and finish even at high material removal rates.

Glebar pairs the wider work wheel with an oscillating regulating wheel powered by servo motors to reduce setup time and improve sphericity. The slides can be programmed to finite positions through a touchscreen HMI. When an operator selects a job, the servo motors automatically adjust to programmed positions which reduces setup time.

The Weifuautocam Precision Machinery Corporation from Wuxi, China is using a Grindstar profile and cut-off machine from Junker for the production of adjusting screws for high-pressure hydraulic pumps. Weifuautocam, a part of the Weifu Group, began collaborating with Junker in 2000.

Advice is given for switching from conventional vitrified grinding wheels to vitrified CBN when cylindrical grinding.

The Grinding Doc says there are four factors to consider: stiffness, cycle time, chatter and alignment

At The Grinding Doc, we put together this short video with some of our more popular electron-microscope photos. Take a look. It might just change how you see grinding.

Jeffrey Badger, Ph.D., discusses the grinding principles at work that cause chatter in the 106th episode of The Grinding Doc video series.

The GT-610 EZ from Glebar Co. is designed to provide slide motion control and other key ingredients to grinding success at a lower price point.

The M18 FUEL™ 4-1/2" / 5" Grinders will be available May 2021, followed by the M18 FUEL™ 4-1/2" / 5" Braking Grinders w/ ONE-KEY™ available Summer 2021.

The Grinding Doc says it depends on what your biggest issue is: thermal damage, chatter or excessive wheel wear

V-PRIME grinding wheels significantly increase productivity and reduce cycle times due to requiring lower grinding forces and permitting higher feed rates. User-friendly off-line dressing optimizes grinding wheel preparation, saving time and cost.

Using a Vicivision optical measuring machine to verify quality during grinding and other operations, Italy-based Bavieri Alfeo Precision Mechanics can obtain accurate results in seconds .
