To any expert in the grinding and precision machining market, Diamond and CBN wheel is a big investment in quality and performance. We realize at Zhengzhou Ruizuan Diamond Tool Co., Ltd. that we cannot stop safeguarding this investment as soon as the wheel leaves the machine. Storing properly is not merely a suggestion but a very important action that should be taken to preserve the structural integrity of the wheel, high cutting efficiency and, finally, the overall tool life. Misplaced storage may cause cracks, degradation of bonding, or lop-sidedness and make a high-performance wheel useless. These are basic storage rules that can be observed to make sure that your super-abrasive wheels are ready to perform at their best.
Establish a Hired and regulated Storing Space.
The initial action to take towards adequate wheel maintenance is to create a special store room. This space ought to be physically isolated to the workshop floor in order to avoid the vibrations, unintentional collisions, and widespread grinding dust. The environment itself should also be well regulated. Regular, room temperature is best because excessive heat or cold will influence the metallic bondings in the Diamond wheels or the bonds of resin in certain CBN wheels. Moreover, humidity is an unobtrusive victim. When it is moist, it may cause the core of the wheel to corrode or the bond system to be weakened. Thus, you have to have a dry and well-ventilated storage space. Do not keep in direct sunlight or close to radiators where there is a constant change of temperature, and this may cause stress on the wheel structure.
Install a Strict Physical Security System.
After getting the right environment, the manner in which you handle and position the wheels is what matters. Always be careful never to stack Diamond or CBN wheels one atop the other or to have them lying flat upon a hard surface. This process puts stress on certain areas and it may be easily broken or chipped. The proper way to do it is to employ separate protective containers/ padded racks. Wheels are preferably stored vertically, either on a special pegboard or on a storage rack and with pegs that are fitted snugly through the mounting hole. This will guarantee the uniform distribution of the weight of the wheel and the precision edges do not touch any surface. When the wheel cannot be hanged, put it on a flat cushioned surface where it will not be easily rolled away. When storing or transporting a long-term product always use the original packaging because it is specially made to store.
Develop a Well-defined Organizational and Maintenance Standard.
One of the major elements of successful storage is organization. An unorganized storage space causes higher chances of knocking and breaking down wheels when getting another one. Install a system that is easily identified and retrieved. Label shelves or racks with definite wheel specifications. It is also prudent to use a first in, first out system of inventory so as to ensure that old wheels are utilized before new ones since any given wheel should not have to spend a very long time in store. It should be part of your routine to do a visual inspection of your stored wheels periodically. Search on any rust, damages, or other abnormalities of the bonding layer. This is the proactive strategy where you consider the minor problems that arise before they get to be major problems and ensure that every wheel you pick up does not have any minor problems that may make it a major problem.
Through these storage practices you are also directly helping to achieve a maximization of your tooling investment by making them a part of your operation routine. When stored properly, the wheels of Zhengzhou Ruizuan will provide the same high-precision performance they were designed to provide on the job after the job. Securing your tools is an indication of a professional dedication to excellence and effectiveness.
