A tool sharpening assembly (100) suitable for sharpening cutting tools (140,350,366,546,562). In some embodiments, a wedge-shaped port is formed between a rotational first abrasive surface (160,262) and a stationary second abrasive surface (162,264) to sharpen a distal cutting edge (146) of a cutting tool (140,230,546). In other embodiments, a cooling mechanism (136,326,330,334,338) actively draws heat generated during a sharpening operation from a tool (140) and through a tool support structure (170,234,328,332) contactingly supporting the tool, in further embodiments, a rotatable abrasive slotted disc (364) comprises at least one inspection aperture (372) formed from an interior sidewall (390) with upper and lower leading and trailing edges (396,398,400,402) of non-uniform separation distance. In other embodiments, a cylindrical drum abrasive member (572) is provided with an associated stationary support plate (574). In further embodiments, a grinding wheel (580,600) is formed of a substrate (582,602) and a plurality of abrasive layers (584,586,592,612,614) adhered thereto.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for calibrating a grinding machine for sharpening bar blades by grinding at least two flanks and a top surface (K) of the bar blades, involving the following steps: producing a calibrating blade by sharpening a bar blade according to predetermined dimensions; measuring the dimensions of the calibrating blade, and; calibrating the machine with the aid of at least the measurement result. In order to produce a calibrating blade, the bar blade is, in at least two steps, ground on the flanks and on the top surface (K) in a complete calibrating grinding. The inventive method is advantageous in that the calibrating blade is ground under the same conditions as a production blade so that process-related influences, in particular, displacements associated with the grinding forces, can also be taken into consideration.

An apparatus includes a blade grinding machine, a measuring system and a control for providing a bar blade suitable for cutting work pieces. The blade grinding machine includes a clamping mechanism for mounting the bar blade and a grinding wheel for grinding the mounted bar blade. The measuring system also includes a clamping mechanism for mounting bar blade and at least one probe for three-dimensional sampling of the bar blade mounted on the measuring system. The control enables a data exchange between the blade grinding machine and the measuring system in order to grind and sample the bar blade in an alternating fashion. The apparatus is a closed system in which data exchange is automated.
摘要:
A method of treating a cutting edge of a tool to reduce deterioration of the cutting edge during a subsequent machining operation. A brush having a plurality of bristles is rotated about an axis of rotation and positioned relative to the cutting edge whereby the brush axis is oriented perpendicular to the cutting edge or at an angle of up to about plus/minus 20 degrees with respect to the perpendicular orientation. The brush is then brought into contact with the cutting tool in the presence of an abrasive material. Preferably the cutting tool is a cutting blade for cutting toothed articles such as gears and the like wherein the cutting edge is formed by the intersection of a front face and a cutting side profile surface of the cutting blade. The rotating brush effectively polishes a portion of the front face and cutting side profile surface which is adjacent to the cutting edge while producing the rounding-off of the cutting edge.
摘要:
An apparatus for producing or forming surfaces at the cutter blade head portion of a cutter blade formed of hardened steel. The hardened steel blades, provided with a cutter blade head portion, are contemplated to be used in the cutter head of a gear cutting machine. In order to form the surfaces of the cutter blade head in a relatively short amount of time, without impermissible heating of the cutter blade steel, there is formed during a first step a pre-profile of the blade head by means of a cutting-off device containing a cutting-off grinding disk. During a further step the preformed surfaces of the pre-profile are ground into cutter blade surfaces at the heretofore conventionally used grinding machine. The apparatus for performing the method contains a rotatable hearing or support unit, adjustable into different positions, in which there is mounted the cutting-off grinding disk.

A form tool fixture to hold a cylindrical cutting form tool in order to grind its cutting edge consists of a body member, a screw threaded member protruding from a front face of the body member upon which the form tool is mounted, a wing nut to hold the form tool and a swingably mounted stop member positioned to correctly align the form tool and then to swing out of the way of the grinding head. The fixture also has flat side surfaces formed at angles to grind front clearance angles on the form tool.
