Detection of loading of
grinding wheel
12-1, Hisakata 2-chome, Tempaku-ku, Nagoya 468-8511 JAPAN
Background and problem
• Monitoring of grinding wheel wear for precision
grinding
• Disturbance of light by working fluid
Solution
• Gap sensing by using hydrodynamic pressure with
pressure sensor arranged with small gap
Advantages
• Simple sensing device
• In-process measurement of radius and topography
of grinding wheel
• Dependence of only geometry of grinding wheel
Results
• Relationship among pressure, gap and speed
• Enable to run-out by arranging several sensors
• Standard deviation of 1 mm in measured radii
• Enable to detect loading, shedding and dulling
Applicable field
• Plunge grinding
• Creep-feed grinding
• High precision grinding such as ELID
• Grinding expensive material
• Small-amount products

Solution
• Shaping profile of bundled electrodes by
controlling their length and scanning them as one
electrode
Advantages
• Enable to skip making process of electrode
• Mechanical strength of electrode
• Enable to compensate electrodes for heavy wear
by feeding them
• Use of thin wire for electrodes
Results
• Machining 3D shape with 6 thin electrodes
• Less cracks by divided power because of
discharge dispersion
Applicable fields
• Micromachining
• Micromold fabrication
• Rapid prototyping for metals
