It would be interesting to determine how flat the Studer polygons are, given that the flats are interpolated, and any reversal error in the X-axis is being tested. In the case of your method, your flatness is assured.

Ok, If you are going to attempt polygon grinding on a studer you must remember a few things. firstly look at the part Chris has ground. how flat does it look? its clearly radiused on every edge. You cannot achieve flatness using a angle approach wheel. the machine needs to know the exact wheel diameter to achieve perfect flats so you need you use a straight wheel. You cannot measure a wheel at 30 degrees ie wheel 2 as T1 and T11 are totally different sizes. I do many form grinding jobs in aerospace and the flatness is easily within 0.001mm on these amazing machines

TITAN! This video is pretty related to the dilemma I'm in. The ol' Mill vs Lathe debate. I'm a new mechanical engineer coming from A LOT of 3D printing experience who likes to get his hands dirty and build stuff first-hand for gaining expertise in design aspects and just the overall mechanical experience of making things. But I want to start working with metals. Mainly brass and aluminum but occasionally steels. Before I invest in an awesome CNC setup, to learn the old school ways do you recommend starting with a small lathe or mill?
@avroarchitect17932 жыл бұрын
Amateur machinist here, Lathes are good for getting a feel for the concepts behind feeds and speeds, especially if they are manual (not CNC). But a Mill is far more versatile in what it can do. However Lathes are the kings of threading, cylindrical parts and semi cylindrical/ related parts (camshafts, bushings, tapers, etc), Really depends what you want to make. Honestly to get a feel for manufacturing, both are good, both have their limits.

okay, here is a question I have. Because the grinding wheel is cut at an angle, the diameter of its grinding surface is different if you look at different points on the z-axis. the diameter of the grinding wheel that is closer to the chuck has a different surface velocity when it is spinning than the inner diameter. does that have any effect on the surface finish?
@bdwilson19072 жыл бұрын
Surface speed of the wheel on the 45 degree angle is minimal change between the larger and smaller diameter. Typically surface speed is measured in metres per second in the world of metric so the difference is minimal, more so that this wheel will likely be in excess of 400mm (16") diameter in use. Respect to the guys who load these wheels in the machine, I picked one up for our Studer S41 and they are definitely not light!

I will let Chris come in here and answer this. I know that in many applications, you actually re-dress the wheel during the process and the machine automatically knows where the new edge is and compensates / offsets in automatically, then continues to grind. You can set the timing on this based on application and hardness of wheel etc. Titan
@christophervillalpando58652 жыл бұрын
Titan nailed it! The wheel is dressed and the machine compensates for wheel wear. You can pick in your technology for the wheel how much to dress and how many passes. In the programming is where you can select how often you dress, for example before the grinding operation, during or even after. Great question!
