What's the Best Dressing Tool for Diamond/CBN Wheels: Single-Point or Diamond Roll?

In investment in high performance diamond or CBN wheels, cutting efficiency is the most important aspect to maintain. Dressing is also a major aspect of this maintenance procedure that frees the wheel and re-sharpens it. To the professionals and the managers of the workshop, it is usually a matter of two main tools, the single-point diamond dresser and the diamond roll dresser. We have both, and at Zhengzhou Ruizuan Diamond Tool Co. Ltd, we can help you maximize your grinding processes by knowing the unique advantage of each of them.

The Single-Point Diamond Dresser is understood as follows.

The single point diamond dresser is an age- old tool. It comes with one, high-quality, natural or synthetic diamond tip with a shank. This is a tool that is either used manually or semi automatically on the grinding wheel to cut off bond material in a precise manner to reveal fresh and sharp grains of abrasive.

This technique is highly appreciated due to its simplicity and direct control. It enables the operator to properly true the profile of the wheel and it is very useful in producing a given form or a sharp corner. Single-point dressers are especially convenient in small batch production, tool room work and in cases where flexibility and controlled contouring are needed. They have a low cost and can be used to perform most standard dressing tasks at very good performance with no complex set up. The single-point dresser is a good and economical solution to the operations with a higher level of versatility and simple tooling.

Discovering the Diamond Roll Dresser Capabilities.

The diamond roll dresser is a more progressive automated system. It is a rotary tool that has an industrial diamond-coated layer on its exterior. The roll rotates on the grinding wheel which is usually controlled by computers to trim the surface of the wheel at a high rate and uniformly.

The technique is better in high scale manufacturing. The main advantage of the diamond roll is that it is very fast and can be able to have a regular geometric accuracy within long manufacturing durations. It saves a lot of time of non-productive dressing that increases the effectiveness of equipment in general. Moreover, since the diamond particles are scattered on the entire roll surface, wear is evenly distributed and therefore, the overall tool life is higher than using a single-point dresser whereby all wear is centered on a tip. The diamond roll is a valuable asset to manufacturers who want to have the highest throughput, repeatability, and automatization integration.

The Right Choice to Make in Your Operation.

Which dressing tool is most appropriate to your diamond or CBN wheels then? The solution does not exist in the overall sense; it all depends on what you have to achieve and what you are to do.

The single-point diamond dresser should be considered when the work is characterized by various format, small-to-medium lot sizes, complex profiles, or a more manual and flexible configuration. It is a great, less start up capital to obtain a high accuracy without necessarily involving complicated machines.

On the other hand, diamond roll dresser will be the better option and is used in dedicated production lines, large scale grinding, and fully automated systems. Its velocity, repeatability and durability over a long period is a great pay back in terms of investment because there are few cycles going through and all the pieces of ground are the same.

In Zhengzhou Ruizuan Diamond Tool Co., Ltd. we know that the productivity depends on the correct tool to apply. We present a full line of high accuracy single point dressers and durable diamond rolls, designed to fulfill the arduous needs of the contemporary industry. Using the assessment of your production volume, necessary accuracy, and automatization degree, you will be able to choose the most suitable dressing solution to make your grinding process sharp, accurate, and high-performing.
