How to grind round the diamond segment

Before introducing the content of this article, we must first understand what is: diamond segment grinding?

In another words, the diamond segment usually needs to go through a rounding process after production to ensure the roundness and dimensional accuracy of the segment. Rounding is achieved by placing the segment on a rotating grinding wheel and using the friction between the abrasive and the grinding wheel to grind the surface of the segment.

The geometry and precision of the segment can be repaired and reconstructed by rounding, and the small flaws and deformations on the surface of the segment can be eliminated, making the segment more stable and precise during the cutting process. In addition, rounding can also adjust the surface finish and flatness of the segment, improving cutting quality and efficiency.
Specifically, the steps of rounding the diamond segment are as follows:

1: Prepare rounding equipment and abrasives. Rounding equipment generally includes a rounding machine and a grinding wheel, and the abrasives can be diamond abrasives, alumina abrasives, etc.

2: Clamp the segment in the fixture, which is generally an adjustable three-jaw fixture for clamping and rotating the segment.

3: Start the round grinding machine and let the grinding wheel start to rotate.

4: The fixture drives the segment to start rotating, and adjusts the height and angle of the grinding wheel so that the abrasive of the grinding wheel contacts the surface of the segment.

5: Gradually adjust the parameters of the round grinding machine, such as rotation speed, feed speed, grinding wheel pressure, etc., until the required roundness and dimensional accuracy are achieved.

6: After several times of rounding and inspection, it is finally determined whether the shape and size of the segment meet the requirements.

It should be noted that the rounding process of the diamond segment needs to be very fine and patient. Once the grinding is excessive or uneven, it may affect the service life and cutting efficiency of the segment.

The rounding process of the diamond segment can be achieved through the following tips and precautions:

1: Select the appropriate grinding tool: Special grinding tools, such as grinding wheels, grinding heads, etc., are required for diamond segment grinding. Choosing the right tool can guarantee the rounding effect.

2: Determine the grinding direction: The diamond segment should be ground in a certain direction, generally along the rotation direction of the segment. This ensures the smoothness and precision of the segment surface.

3: Control the grinding pressure: When grinding, the grinding pressure should be well controlled to avoid excessive force on the surface of the segment, causing surface damage and cracks.

4: Appropriately increase the amount of coolant used: When grinding, the amount of coolant used should be appropriately increased to avoid excessive temperature on the surface of the segment, resulting in deformation or damage to the segment.

5: Pay attention to the grinding speed: The grinding speed should be moderate, too slow will prolong the grinding time, and too fast will easily cause damage to the surface of the segment.

6: Regularly check the grinding effect: After grinding, the grinding effect should be checked regularly to ensure that the roundness and precision of the segment meet the requirements of use.
In general, the rounding process of diamond segments requires the accumulation of skill and experience, and factors such as attention, direction and speed are required during operation to ensure the grinding effect and the life of the segment.
