The VGrind 360, VOLLMER’s latest tool grinding machine, is equipped with enhanced travel distances in order to machine carbide tools up to a diameter of 100 millimeters. Thanks to its two vertical spindles, the VGrind 360 also allows for tried-and-tested multi-level machining. This enables tool manufacturers to quickly and precisely produce large numbers of milling cutters, drills, etc. whose blanks are made from either solid carbide or HSS (high speed steel).
In the second of this two-episode Grinding Doc report, Dr. Jeffrey Badger runs a few numbers to determine a suitable overlap ratio.
About Jeffrey Badger, Ph.D., and the Grinding Doc Video Series: Thanks to his work as an independent grinding consultant and the author of the "Ask the Grinding Doc" column in Cutting Tool Engineering magazine, Badger routinely receives questions about grinding from shops all over the world. Through the magazine column and this video series, he provides shops with the insight and guidance they seek.
In part one of this report, the Grinding Doc acknowledges how maddening dressing can be when diamonds wear away and develop larger and larger flat areas.
The marketing folks at Fritz Studer AG, Thun, Switzerland, understand the importance of having a distinctive, eye-catching location for introducing grinding machines. In March, they selected the Hagerbach Test Gallery in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland to host the Studer Press Event 2019. The gallery was founded as an R&D facility for underground mining tunnel construction, but the subterranean setting has been the location of numerous seminars, parties, concerts and product presentations.
Witness the experience for yourself as captured by CTE Editor Alan Richter.
