A new scattered light sensor technique was presented to measure wafer surfaces, particular in the field of back grinding. The sensor combines surface roughness measurement by means of evaluating the variance (Aq) of the scattered light distribution and use additionally the method of deflectometry to assess form (warpage) and waviness.

In a production-grinding operation, waviness on the part surface is a potential clue that the machine or process has developed a vibration problem. The effect might be seen in inspection, or if there is a lapping or polishing step, the effect might be seen in the increased time spent removing the waves. ... In testing, researchers used a sensor ...

Acoustic Emission technique has the capability to provide efficient real-time knowledge and monitoring of the grinding process. AE RMS values were used to analyses the process characteristics. This paper explores the relations between temperature, force, acoustic emission and roughness.

Magnetic chucks represent invaluable aids in grinding of small and thin components. Their design allows for using of a coolant, or submersing into a dielectric liquid. At the same time, there is a warranty of a long lifetime. Workpiece fixation area forms single, continuous units. These chucks are very low and may also be positioned on another magnetic fasteners.

Innovative monitoring systems based on sensor signals have emerged in recent years in view of their potential for diagnosing machining process conditions. In this context, preliminary applications of fast-response and low-cost piezoelectric diaphragms (PZT) have recently emerged in the grinding monitoring field. However, there is a lack of application regarding the grinding of ceramic materials.

The Σ (sigma) Wheel is the ultimate tool for grinding parts susceptible to grinding burnings (parts such as crank shaft shoulders that have little exposure to coolant during grinding). Features Noritake's proprietary CBN wheel technology can lower grinding resistance (and power consumption).

A cylindrical grinding process finishes most wheel spindle surfaces. It is essential that this grinding process leave a surface finish that is smooth and free of defects with minimal runout. No grinder produces a perfect surface. Grinder wheel runout, improperly dressed wheels and fixture vibrations can cause chatter on the spindle surface finish.
