Sensors capture the entire edge profile while robotic grinding, buffing, and polishing remove defects and approximate the original shape.
A rotary table measures substrate thickness at carry-out and adjusts chuck tilt to improve uniformity across grinding stages.
Remote sensors and robotic control preserve weld-grinding precision while protecting workers.
RFID or magnetic sensors identify the pad type, allowing the controller to set speed limits that protect pads and improve cleaning.
Optimized ceramic grain spacing and direct coolant delivery increase the material removal rate while preventing thermal damage to turbine disk parent material.
Actuators move grinding wheels axially based on sensor data to eliminate height offsets between the loading table and wheel surfaces.
