  • Publication number: 20210108118
    Abstract: An abrasive grain is disclosed and may include a body. The body may define a length (l), a height (h), and a width (w). In a particular aspect, the length is greater than or equal to the height and the height is greater than or equal to the width. Further, in a particular aspect, the body may include a primary aspect ratio defined by the ratio of length:height of at least about 2:1. The body may also include an upright orientation probability of at least about 50%.

  • Publication number: 20200306927
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20200156210
    Abstract: The present application relates to systems and methods for obtaining real-time abrasion data. An example system includes a remote sensor that is located remotely from a grinding tool and a workpiece. The remote sensor is configured to detect vibration and/or noise associated with a grinding operation involving the grinding tool and the workpiece. The system includes communication interface and a controller configured to carry out operations. The operations include receiving, from the remote sensor, at least one of vibration or noise information associated with the grinding tool and the workpiece. The operations also include determining tool-specific information or workpiece-specific information based on the at least one of the vibration or noise information. The operations yet further include transmitting, via the communication interface, the tool-specific information or workpiece-specific information.
