In profile grinding, the shape is largely incorporated into the grinding wheel itself. The wheel is dressed in advance with the negative of the desired profile and then moves over or along the workpiece, transferring that shape into the material. This creates, in a single operation, a part with a sharply defined geometry, such as a V-shape, a series of teeth, a radius transition or a combination of flat surfaces and radii.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_432d3f53\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Profile grinding is one of the precision machining processes used in precision mechanics.

Surface quality is also a key strength.

It consists of two tasks that overlap. During profiling, the wheel is accurately given the geometry required by the workpiece. During sharpening, the abrasive grains are opened up, creating fresh cutting edges and freeing up space for chip evacuation. A properly dressed wheel cuts cool and freely, resulting in low grinding forces and a clean finish. With a single-point diamond dresser or a diamond profile roller, very small internal radii can be achieved, in the range of 0.1 to 0.2 mm. Dressing is carried out regularly, sometimes between workpieces, with rising power consumption or a deteriorating finish indicating that the wheel needs attention again.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"vc_do_toggle vc_toggle vc_toggle_square  vc_toggle_color_inverted vc_toggle_size_md\"><div class=\"vc_toggle_title\"><h3 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading us_custom_cda6f729\" >Which grinding wheels and abrasives are used in profile grinding?<\/h3><i class=\"vc_toggle_icon\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"vc_toggle_content\"><p>The most suitable grinding wheel depends strongly on the material being machined. Conventional abrasives include corundum (aluminium oxide) and silicon carbide. They are cost-effective, easy to dress and suitable for a wide range of steel grades. For more demanding work, superabrasives come into play: cubic boron nitride (CBN, also known as Borazon) and diamond. CBN is particularly suitable for hardened steels because it retains its shape and sharpness for a long time. Diamond is the preferred choice for very hard and abrasive materials such as carbide, ceramics and glass. The right combination of abrasive and material results in long tool life, a stable process and consistent quality.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"vc_do_toggle vc_toggle vc_toggle_square  vc_toggle_color_inverted vc_toggle_size_md\"><div class=\"vc_toggle_title\"><h3 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading us_custom_cda6f729\" >When should you choose profile grinding and when EDM?<\/h3><i class=\"vc_toggle_icon\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"vc_toggle_content\"><p class=\"translation-block\">Both techniques can handle hardened materials and both achieve high precision, but there are clear differences. <a href=\"\/en\/high-precision-production\/electrical-discharge-machining\/\" target=\"_self\">EDM<\/a> works electrically and therefore requires a conductive material, which excludes ceramics and some non-ferrous materials that can be machined by profile grinding. EDM also introduces heat into the surface, resulting in a thin heat-affected layer, whereas a well-cooled grinding process machines the material mechanically and at low temperature. For certain geometries, such as a sharp internal corner profile without a radius, EDM has the advantage. The optimal choice depends on the material, the required shape, the tolerances and the quantity. Because we have both techniques in-house, we can choose the most suitable method for each component.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"vc_do_toggle vc_toggle vc_toggle_square  vc_toggle_color_inverted vc_toggle_size_md\"><div class=\"vc_toggle_title\"><h3 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading us_custom_cda6f729\" >Is profile grinding suitable for one-off parts or series production?<\/h3><i class=\"vc_toggle_icon\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"vc_toggle_content\"><p>Both are possible.
