High Efficient Finishing Process for Press Dies by Cast Iron Bonded Diamond Pellet (1)

주철본드 다이아몬드 팰렛에 의한 프레스 금형의 고능률 연마가공 (1)

The finishing process for dies and molds is directly related to finished surface quality, but many parts of process depend on human labor which needs much time and value. So automatic finishing machine has been produced for dies and molds, and applied widely for finishing process. Conventionally finishing machine has applied resin bonded finishing pad as a tool, but the removal ability of pad decreases greatly as finishing process goes on. In the finishing mechanism for dies and molds, finishing process is affected severely by cutting process, so can be divided into removing cusp and smoothing surface process. So, this study investigated the application of cast iron bonded diamond pellet for press dies, which is considered to have better characteristics than the other metal bonded pellets. The finishing characteristics were compared the between finishing pellet and pad. And finishing performance was appraised as the several cutting surfaces.
