Abstract

Metal-bonded ball-headed diamond wheel with small diameter has been widely used in the ultra-precision grinding of optical parts, especially in the parts with complex surface. In-position precise dressing technique of ball-headed diamond wheel is the key technology to improve grinding precision. The effect of mechanical errors on the profile accuracy of wheel dressing were theoretically analyzed firstly. Afterwards a ball-headed diamond wheel dressing equipment based on electrical discharge principle has been designed and built. Orthogonal experiments have been carried out on the dressing equipment, and the dressing quality of wheels under different dressing electrical parameters were analyzed in terms of wheel profile accuracy and wheel surface micro-topography. The influence of dressing electrical parameters on the dressing quality were investigated and the best electrical parameter combination was obtained. Experimental result showed that the wheel profile accuracy can reach upward 0.8μm after dressing, and the protrusion heights of diamond grain were uniformity and the protrusion effect was better than without dressing.
