Surface Grinding Wheels (for surface grinding or surface grinding)
Surface grinding wheels by Zische with good cooling properties at high stock removal
Our surface grinding wheels for metals, non-ferrous metals and tools have excellent bond characteristics due to structural pressing. In particular, the highly porous surface grinding wheels developed by us result in a cool grinding with high stock removal rates at the same time.
For profile grinding, profiled grinding wheels are used to grind a defined profile on the workpiece. The profile shape of the grinding wheel corresponds to the negative profile of the profile to be generated on the workpiece. In diaform grinding, the profile of a reference piece is taken with help of a probe and then put into the grinding wheel with a dressing tool in order to create the profile in the grinding wheel.
A large number of aluminium oxide / corundum types (e.g. regular aluminium oxide, special fused aluminium oxide white, pink or ruby, sintered aluminium oxide / sol-gel corundum) and their mixtures are used as grain types for surface grinding and profile grinding. Various silicon carbides are used as abrasives for non-ferrous metals.
Surface grinding – a widely used grinding process with many variants
Surface grinding is widely used in industrial applications. In general usage, the term “surface grinding” often only refers to the process of horizontal-spindle peripheral surface grinding. This peripheral surface grinding with the grinding wheel’s circumferential surface as the effective surface is done in two variants: conventional surface grinding and creep feed grinding.
In conventional surface grinding, the grinding wheel moves back and forth over the workpiece at a relatively small, stepwise infeed with high feed speed. Creep feed grinding, on the other hand, works with comparably high infeed and very low feed speed.
However, surface grinding involves more than just this one process with its two variants. More information on surface grinding and the other process variants like side grinding (vertical-spindle grinding) or double side face grinding can be found in our grinding knowledge section under “Grinding processes / applications”.
