Effect of Dressing Overlap Ratio on the Grinding Process

A good understanding of overlap ratio dressing parameter and its effects on grinding wheel performance can result in optimal precision grinding operations. Overlap ratio is specifically used when truing and dressing using rotary or stationary dressing tools in a traverse dress mode. Overlap ratio is not used in plunge dressing applications. Norton St. Gobain engineers Taqwa Gilani – Corporate Application Engineer, and John Hagan – Senior Application Engineer explain the details in this white paper.
