Abstract: Metal bond grinding wheels can retain their shape and size under extreme grinding conditions. On the other hand, it is difficult to true them accurately and efficiently due to the severe wear of truing tools. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a new truing device based on electro-contact discharge machining. The device is designed so that the position of the electrode working face remains unchanged even if the electrode is worn. Some truing experiments were carried out using a prototype truing device for a metal bond diamond wheel of grain size #1000 under dry conditions. As a result, relatively high truing accuracy has been achieved in combination with an additional truing by a GC stone.

Abstract: In this paper, a precise profile ELID grinding with Electrical Discharge Truing(EDT) has been introduced, and some experiments for efficient and precision EDT process with cast iron-bonded diamond wheel have been carried out with four types of medium: mist, water, pressure air, air, furthermore some machining parameters e.g. electric current, electric voltage have been discussed in detail. For analyzing of the accuracy of EDT process with cast-iron bonded diamond wheel, a profile measurement method with software of MATLAB was used for analyzing of the profiles of cast-iron-bonded diamond wheel and electrode. It can be found that the electrode’s profile can be kept with the consistent designed profile, and the grinding wheel with the designed profile has been got by the appropriate EDT process. Therefore the higher efficiency and precision EDT process can be achieved by the appropriate EDT machining parameters.

Abstract: A novel truing and dressing method, namely fiber laser assisted truing and dressing diamond wheel, is proposed to overcome the shortcomings associated with conventional mechanical dressing methods, ELID and ECD methods. A series of experiments have been conducted to prove that it achieves both high truing efficiency and good dressing quality. The finite element analysis of temperature distribution in fiber laser assisted truing and dressing diamond wheel using ANSYS is performed by author. Temperature field simulation helps to select optimized parameters under certain conditions.
