Well-dressed PLAN: new online dressing technology eliminates inefficient offline dressing and advances CNC production of round cutting tools

摘要

Advances in online truing and dressing of grinding wheels -coupled with better monitoring and control - are helping to increase production and improve the quality of round tools, such as drills and endmills. New superabrasive wheels, lap-free bonded profile dressing rolls and highspeed DC dressing spindles are eliminating the need for time-consuming and problematic offline dressing. Lap-free refers to the elimination of the need for regrinding or relapping of the diamond to restore tip geometry. Lap-free, bonded profile dressing rollers have 0.250" of usable dense diamond particles, which are uniform and do not require relapping.
