Course descriptions

Why can't I achieve the specified surface quality? What can I do to improve my roundness on the workpiece? Why can't I achieve the required cylindricity? These are all questions that arise in the daily work of a grinder, and they are discussed and answered in this course StuderWIN Expert “The Art of Grinding.” This course is for anyone who wants to look behind the scenes. Become a grinding pro by learning to understand the bigger picture.

In grinding, there are dozens of control variables that have to be specifically influenced to steer the grinding result in the desired direction. On the first day, everything revolves around dressing. Whether stationary or rotating, there is something for everyone. Experience the applications and possibilities of the various dressing tools. In a joint practical workshop you will learn how workpiece surface quality and grinding wheel topography can be specifically influenced using rotary dressing. Get to know the various dressing tools and understand their applications. On the second day everything revolves around grinding parameters. Qs, Q'w, qd, Ud, ... never heard of them? Then it's time to experience these dry formulas live on a STUDER cylindrical grinding machine. We specifically influence the various control variables and are amazed at their influence on the grinding result.

Course Content

  • Use and possibilities of dressing tools
  • Calculating dressing parameters
  • Joint machine set-up with various stationary and one rotating dressing tool
  • Live demonstration of various dressing parameters with stationary and rotating dressing tools
  • Discussing and working with the technological view in StuderWIN
  • Targeted manipulation of grinding parameters to change workpiece qualities, in particular Ud and Qs
  • What influence does the coolant amount have?

Target group and course prerequisites

  • The course is aimed at operators of a STUDER universal cylindrical grinding machine who have already worked for several months or years on a STUDER cylindrical grinding machine with at least Rel. F35. Good to very good programming skills are required.
  • It is recommended to attend the StuderWIN Expert Programming course beforehand.

Objectives

  • Participants acquire valuable expert knowledge and, with the help of the course documents, are able to select dressing tools for the appropriate application.
  • They are familiar with the various parameters for dressing in order to modify the grinding wheel and thus the workpiece surface quality in a targeted manner.
  • On the basis of the course documents, participants can consciously modify grinding parameters in such a way that the grinding result is improved.
  • Formulas for calculating grinding data are known and can be applied as needed.
