Visualization of 3D Topography of Grinding Wheel Surface Dressed by Rotary Diamond Dresser

Abstract:

A computer-aided simulation was developed to visualize the three-dimensional topography of a grinding wheel surface dressed by a rotary diamond dresser (RDD), and the effects of up-cut and down-cut dressing on the roughness of the dressed surface were examined to demonstrate the effectiveness of the simulation. In the case of single-pass dressing, the roughness of the grinding wheel surface decreased with decreasing dresser feed rate and approached a constant value depending on the velocity ratio of the RDD to the grinding wheel. In the case of multipass dressing, up-cut dressing provided the grinding wheel with a surface topography which was much more stable than that provided by down-cut dressing.
