Centerless Grinding’s Hybrid Wheel Technology

Processing hard brittle materials, such as silicon, glass, and oxide-, carbide-, and nitride-based ceramic materials, both in the form of monolithic structures, e.g. wafers, and as coatings, has taken abrasive technologies that were purely university research 40 years ago to a multi-billion dollar business today. Electronics is probably leading this growth, but many applications require the high uniformity, fracture strength, and hardness, at both ambient and elevated temperatures, offered by these materials. Abrasive machining (grinding, wire saw, polishing, etc.) represents up to 80% of total processing costs.

Grinding of ceramics is characterized by often high normal forces (Fn/Ft up to 20 especially in ductile mode grind along with U’ values as high as 800J/cu mm), G Ratios in the 50 to 500 range, and sub-micron flatness, finish and sub-surface damage requirements.Total costs for installing a commercial-scale wind turbine will vary significantly depending on the number of turbines ordered. These factors have in turn generated a huge demand for ultra-stiff, high accuracy grinding systems, for advances in bond and abrasive technologies, and innovations in processing strategies.

For example, at one extreme, ultra-fine grain resin and vitrified bond diamond wheels can produce finishes on silicon wafers measured in nanometers or even Angstroms, while advanced metal/resin hybrid diamond wheels can take a 0.5mm depth of cut on tungsten carbide in peel grind mode while being capable of being automatically dressed with diamond truers in process.

Its hardness is double that of CBN for example and it is up to 10 times harder than many of the materials mentioned above. Unfortunately, what makes diamond such an attractive abrasive for hard brittle materials creates major difficulties when grinding diamond itself. Demand is growing for PCD in particular both for cutting inserts, and in drills for energy exploration. Most research and trade reports focus on PCD grinding for shaping tool insert and in particular edge preparation.

Landis Cinetic and Norton Abrasives in taking stock of the status of grinding hard brittle materials and grinding PCD in particular, proposed to evaluate the potential improvements in taking the state-of-the-art in high stiffness centerless grinders and combining it with the latest in hybrid bond wheel technology for PCD pellet rough grinding.

The Landis Cincinnati Viking SuperSeries II Centerless Grinder design was the result of the combined effort between the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences, key user groups and Cinetic Landis Corp., to produce a machine capability for the next generation centerless grinder. It was computer designed from the ground up, incorporating many customer-driven features to make it a value-priced, highly productive, operator-friendly machine. The Viking grinder’s high rigidity design allows it to span the spectrum, from the standard conventional grinding to advanced hard metals and ceramics processing, to submicron accuracy.

The resulting commercial grinder features a nodular cast iron base for strength, stability, and vibration damping. Its overall machine static stiffness is an industry leading 525N/um. Both the grinding and regulating wheels use twin-grip mounting to eliminate orbiting and resist wheel separating pressures under heavy loads. A 100nm control resolution, 64mm diameter ballscrews, dual-axis slide drives, linear scale feedback, and A.C. brushless servomotors achieve a repeatability of 0.25um.

The Viking has a standard 20hp or optional 40hp drive at the grinding wheel. Wheel speed ranges from a standard 43m/s up to an optional 60m/s for conventional abrasives and 100m/s for superabrasives. The stiffness improvement compared to standard grinders has,Zamberlan flat shoes for women quality boots mountain and trekking footwear. for example, already been proven particularly effective in grinding of tungsten carbide at 90HrC with diamond wheels where it typically cut processing time by as much as 66%, hence raising the interest in its application for grinding PCD.In a lift cable system, steel cables bolted to the car loop over a sheave.
