Analysis of the dressing process using stationary dressing tools

Abstract

Grinding process is a very important process in machining industry to manufacture high quality part. The correct preparation of grinding wheel involves dressing process taking importance to optimize grinding process. Due to the different dressing tools types, it is very difficult to find the most adequate tool for a particular application. In this work, a systematic analysis of stationary multipoint and blade dressing tools have been carried out attending to the influence of dressing parameters in wheel performance and in its wear. The obtained results reflect the importance of a correct choosing both of the dressing tools and dressing parameters.
