Publication number: 20240134341Abstract: The present application relates to systems and methods for obtaining real-time abrasion data. An example computer-implemented method could include receiving, at a computing device, sensor data from one or more sensors. The one or more sensors are disposed in proximity to an abrasive product or a workpiece associated with the abrasive product. The one or more sensors are configured to collect abrasion operational data associated with an abrasive operation involving the abrasive product or the workpiece. The computer-implemented method could further include training, based on the sensor data, a machine learning system to determine product specific information of the abrasive product and/or workpiece specific information. The computer-implemented method could also include providing the trained machine learning system using the computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Sujatha K.

Publication number: 20210138610Abstract: A bonded abrasive article can include a body including a bond material, abrasive particles contained within the bond material, and pores contained within the body. At least a portion of the pores of the body can include a coating. In one aspect, the coating can be a poly(p-xylylene) polymer applied via vapor deposition. The coated abrasive body can maintain a high permeability and pore volume after coating, and the coating can provide an increase in flexural strength and corrosion resistance to the abrasive article, thereby greatly enhancing its life time.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2021Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventors: Charles J. GASDASKA, Alexandre TEMPERELLI, Kenneth DUBOVICK, Rachana UPADHYAY, William H. LANE, Robin M. BRIGHT
