Influence of Grinding Wheel Dressing on the Roughness of Final Surface and Cutting Force during GGG60 Grinding

Abstract

Dressing of grinding wheel is important value, which can influence final surface. Therefore, it is necessary to address this issue some attention. Dressing is used for sharpening of clogged and blunted grinding wheel and adjustement of their geometric shape. The article deals with one of the experiments that are carried out in this area at FPTM JEPU in Ústí nad Labem. Experiments refer specifically to impact assessment of dressing size on the final selected values of surface integrity. Within the article, the assessment covered the surface roughness Ra, Rz and Rt. At the same time were also scanned using a dynamometer Kistler components of the cutting forces and even here it was possible to observe the influence of the dressing size of the grinding wheel on these values.
