Grinding executed in a lapping configuration is an alternative finishing process benefiting
from both grinding and free-abrasive machining, while minimizing the heat effect impact …

Current development of modern products, together with ever-increasing demands for their
operation and usage, necessitate the search for new processing methods. Abrasive …

Double face grinding with planetary kinematics is a process to manufacture workpieces with
plan parallel functional surfaces, such as bearing rings or sealing shims. In order to increase …

In grinding, the contact zone temperature is a decisive factor influencing the achievable
surface quality and the grinding tool wear. In contrast to other grinding processes, only few …

The computer-controlled optical surface (CCOS) can process good optical surfaces, but its
edge effect greatly affects its development and application range. In this paper, based on the …

Utilising microphones as audible sound sensors for monitoring a single-side grinding
process with lapping kinematics is presented in the paper. The audible sound generated …

Correlation between shape errors of the tool and ceramic work-pieces are presented in the
paper. A new tool, on which different shape errors of convexity or concavity can be set, was …

Microabrasive-based lapping is widely used in the manufacturing of single-crystal substrates
such as sapphire, SiC, and GaN. Although many studies have been conducted to improve …

In standard lapping, the abrasive compound is feed to the machining zone in a continuous
manner-either by flooding or by droplets-which generates significant loss of the abrasive …
