High Speed Abrasive Belt Grinding

Abstract

A project was established to reduce current stock removal costs and eliminate finish turning operations of tubes by combining rough stock removal and finish grinding. The first phase was designated for engineering and investigation into the feasibility and application of abrasive belt grinding technology. This information was then used to generate a specification establishing some criteria for design and manufacture of a machine to remove heavy stock and finish tubes using abrasive belt technology. The specification was subsequently used for the acquisition of a machine to perform the tasks. The second phase was designated for testing of the equipment and establishing production parameters. Keywords: Gun barrel machining; High-speed abrasive belt grinding; Coated abrasives; Contact wheel.
