Two-day course
This course teaches participants to select appropriate abrasive processes, capitalize on their use, and troubleshoot problems with confidence. Participants will build on their fundamental awareness of abrasive technology by developing a practical knowledge of grinding.
Shop floor supervisors, machine operators, grinding personnel, process planners, manufacturing engineers and managers, sales engineers, foremen, application engineers, and company management.
- Learn what to look for when buying a grinding machine
- Evaluate a grinding machine structure for mechanical stiffness and vibrational stability
- Discover the difference between thermally induced surge marks and mechanically induced surface imperfections
- Realize how changing a cutting fluid might affect grinding machine seals
- Observe how abrasive concentration is measured in a superabrasive wheel and how it affects the process performance
- Examine abrasive grain size and dressing technique to determine the form-holding capability of a grinding wheel
- Anticipate what happens in the grinding process at wheel speeds approaching and going beyond the speed of sound
