North Kingstown, Rhode Island – Meister Abrasives USA Inc. has introduced a new generation of cDD Diamond Dressers that offer certified tool radius tolerances for demanding micro-precision grinding applications. The radius form tolerance of these diamond dressers can be certified accurate to within 2μm (±0.001mm) if the application requires.
This degree of precision makes the dressers suitable for CNC truing and sharpening of grinding wheels used in manufacturing automotive and aerospace bearing races, high-precision gear grinding, plunge grinding of fuel injection armatures and needles, and other critical grinding applications that require tight form tolerances.
These cDD dressing tools rely on a structure of high quality CVD diamond inserts strategically embedded within Meister’s hDD porous hybrid-bond matrix. The advantages of the cDD technology for both dressing and subsequent grinding processes are:
- Superior truing (accurate and consistent profile generation on the grinding wheel)
- Superior sharpening (does not dull the grinding wheel)
- Low dressing forces
- Grinding wheel cuts better, with better part quality
- Lower dress in-feed or higher skip dress is possible
- Dressing tool stays sharp (no conditioning required)
