Estimation of Grinding Wheel Performance by Dressing Force Measurement

Abstract

Dressing force measuring equipment was developed and the performance of a single-point diamond dresser was examined focusing on the relationship between dressing force and grinding performance. It was found that a distinct relationship exists between dressing force and grinding performance, and that the sharp-edged single-point diamond dresser can control grinding performance with low dressing force. The single-point diamond dresser and multipoint diamond rotary dresser induce the same dressing force if their wear widths are equal.
