Abstract: The results of truing and dressing depend on: sharpness of the dresser, speed of dressing, depth of cut and vibration phenomena. Prediction of the optimum wheel surface for grinding which produces an accurate profile and cuts most efficiently can minimize the time and cost and optimize performance of the operation before it is performed in the shop. It has especially significant meaning in truing and dressing of hard CBN wheels. The research described in this paper shows computer simulated and visualized wheel surface before and after the wheel dressing process. This paper provides additional results to those was reported in [8] taking into account the influence of vibrations. It is a companion paper to [8].

Abstract: Truing and dressing are essential processes of grinding wheel preparation. They make the wheel geometry true with respect to its rotational axis and its cutting surface sharp. These factors significantly influence the quality of the final profile and surface produced from the grinding process. Prediction of the optimum wheel surface for grinding, defined as one which produces an accurate profile and cuts most efficiently can greatly minimize the time to optimize grinding wheel performance. This paper describes virtual dressing and truing operations, takes under account vibration of the dressing apparatus and shows how to generate wheel surface replica under different conditions.
