Remanufacturing - Diamond Roll Dressing

Print

Perfect for dedicated grinders.
The fastest method of dressing.

Rotary dressing and truing is becoming more popular and profitable in abrasive machining. Manufacturers have found rotary dressing to be superior to single point, cluster and stick dressing for processes that require high part production or close part tolerances. Diamond roll or diamond disc dressing is a very fast method of dressing a centerless grinding wheel.

Fast infeed dressing can be achieved with a preformed diamond roll that plunges into the wheel forming the wheel to the diamond. Touch up dressing is a matter of seconds with this method. CRI often adds the diamond roll truing unit to our CNC dresser for grinding multiple parts at a time. This gives the consistency of the same preformed diamond roll truing each seperated wheel, eliminating one more variable in multiple simultaneous part manufacturing. With processes requiring wide rolls, CRI recommends hydraulic driven motors to handle the large torque requirements.

The rotary dressing and truing process maximizes the grinding wheel life and greatly increases consistency in the wheel profile. Rotary dressing can be incorporated into the grinding machine's controls to maximize production time, reduce operator labor, and insure tighter tolerances in the finished product. Not only are higher production rates possible, but more complex designs can be produced, further reducing setup and improving the grinding machine's utilization.
