Technology Dressing Devices
Dressing Devices
The grinding wheels must be profiled and sharpened on the grinding machine. Numerous dressing devices are available for this purpose. Depending on the application they can either be installed on the machine table ( table mounted), or on top of the wheel head (wheel head mounted).
Either single point diamonds, diamond clusters or shaped diamonds are used as fixed dressing tools. Diamond-coated profiled rolls or contouring discs are used as rotating dressing tools for “cutting” the profile into the wheel. In special cases the profile can also be crushed into the grinding wheel by profiled steel rolls.
All dressing devices are fully integrated into the machine control and can easily be handled via modern software interfaces. The choice of the most suitable dressing unit depends on the grinding application as well as the required flexibility and productivity.
