Development of a New Truing Device Based on Electro-Contact Discharge Machining for Metal Bond Grinding Wheels

Article Preview

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.
