Choosing the right grinding wheel is very critical, it directly affects the glass grinding effect and work efficiency. Glass straight edge machine grinding wheel configuration can be from the material, coarseness, diameter, grinding edge parameters from four aspects:
1. Material: commonly used grinding wheel materials are resin, diamond, corundum and aluminum oxide. Among them, the resin wheel edge grinding effect is better and lower cost, diamond wheel is more durable and suitable for grinding high hardness of glass material, and corundum wheel is suitable for grinding medium hardness of glass material. Aluminum oxide wheel is suitable for grinding softer materials.
2. Coarseness: The grit thickness of the grinding wheel determines the effect and smoothness of the grinding edge. Usually choose a variety of different coarseness of the grinding wheel for edge grinding, coarseness from coarse to fine, respectively, # 60, # 80, # 120, # 240, # 320, # 600, # 1200 and so on.
3. Diameter: The diameter of the grinding wheel of the glass straight edge machine is also very important. The diameter of the grinding wheel determines the width of the grinding edge, generally speaking, the larger the diameter, the wider the width of the grinding edge.
4. Grinding parameters: after the grinding wheel is selected, it is also necessary to set the appropriate grinding parameters according to the specific material and processing requirements, including grinding wheel speed, grinding pressure and water flow, etc., in order to achieve the best grinding effect.
It should be noted that the above suggestions are for reference only, the actual grinding wheel selection and configuration should be based on different materials and grinding requirements for specific analysis and adjustment.
