SEGMENTS  

 

Back to Kinik Products

 
Segments are used for surface grinding and achieve:

free cutting, (better discharge of chips and penetration of coolant) more stock removal, better grinding results (better dimensional accuracy, flatness, and surface finish)

 
Standard Segment marking (Example): Recommendations
   
Shape No. SG-11-024
Specification C24K8V
Dimensions 56 x 16 x 100
Lot. No. H108V81011
Material Standard Free Cutting Long Life
Cast Iron C30J8V C24H8V WA30J8V
Soft Steel WA30J8V WA24I8V FA30J8V
Hardened Steel WA36H8V WA30H12V PSA36I8V
Stainless Steel WA30I8V WA30H12V WA36I8V
Note :
In order to select the proper type of segment, please consider the following points:
1. Type and size of grinding machines.
2. Material of workpiece.
3. Required metal removal rate and surface finish.
4. Operating speed and coolant used.
Note :
1. Select free cutting segment for broader contact grinding.
2. Select long life segment for narrow contact or interrupted grinding.
3. Select standard specification for general purpose.
Fault Finding and Correction Guide
 

Problem

Possible Causes

Suggested Correction

1.Workpiece not flat or parallel

Depth of cut too high
Burning of workpiece  
Stress relieving from workpiece  
Dirty magnetic chuck  
Wheel & spindle are not aligned  
Reduce depth of cut, especially In final grinding  
Select finer grit size or harder grade of segments or dress the grinding surface rougher  
Relieve stress before final grinding  
Clean chuck before final grinding  

2. Scratches on worklpiece

Dirty coolant  
Segment is too soft  
Grit size is too coarse  
Incorrect dressing  
Clean coolant tank or replace coolant  
Select harder grade of segments  
Select finer grit size
Dress segments smoother  

3. Chatter marks on workpiece

Worn spindle bearings  
Segments are poorly clamped  
Glazed grinding surface  
Segment too hard  
Check spindle bearings and replace
Check segments mounting  
Dress segments rougher  
Select softer grade of segments  

4. Burning of workpiece

Segment too hard  
Table speed too low  
Contact area too large  
Segments dressed too smooth
Depth of cut too much  
Insufficient coolant  
Insufficient power  
Select softer grade of segments
Increase table speed  
Select softer grade or finer grit of segments  
Reduce contact area by rearrange workpieces Reduce grinding surface of segments  
Dress segments rougher  
Reduce depth of cut or dress segments frequently
Increase coolant flow and direct it onto contact area  
Increase machine power  

5. Segments glazing

Grit size too fine  
Segments dressed too smooth  
Stock removal rate too small  
Poor coolant quality  
Select coarser grit size  
Dress segments rougher  
Increase depth of cut or table speed  
Use detergent type of coolant
