Until now, CNC dressing with a diamond dressing roll has only been possible with CBN wheels and has rarely been used on tool grinders, but Schuette now offers a solution.

Until now, CNC dressing with a diamond dressing roll has onlybeen possible with CBN wheels and has rarely been used on toolgrinders, not least because it demands an inordinate designeffort to accommodate an appropriate, speed- controlled dressingattachment on a 5-axis grinder. It is here that Schutte exploitsthe opportunities provided by the well proven, digital,synchronous AC motor's use as a universal rotary axis(A-axis). This multi-functional machine module performs well, notonly as - a high-precision dividing attachment for helix grindingoperations, - a fast rotating work spindle for high-performancecylindrical grinding operations, but also as - a dressingattachment that carries the diamond dressing roll and whose speedcan be set to the appropriate technologically most advantageousvalue.

These optimal conditions allow not only for the CNCdressing of CBN wheels, but also of diamond wheels on the SchutteWU 305.

A collision-free, integrated laser measuring system cangauge the grinding wheel geometry with great dynamic.

This hascreated the conditions that lead to constantly maintainedworkpiece quality in batch production, by applying optimaltechnological grinding conditions.
