  • Patent number: 10040160
    Abstract: There is described a grinding wheel (1), particularly for grinding operations carried out on sheets of glass (2), ceramic material or similar materials, comprising a disc-shaped support with abrasive material arranged on the circumferential profile of the support, and an opposing central hole (3) for attachment to a drive shaft (4) of the grinding wheel. The disc-shaped support comprises a pair of opposed disc-shaped grinding wheel bodies (5, 6) coupled in a facing position so as to define together the abrasive grinding surface (5c, 6c) along the circumferential profile, and each of the disc-shaped bodies (5, 6) has a predetermined resilience such that the disc-shaped bodies (5, 6) can be flexed away from each other in the zone of contact with the component being ground, for the purpose of consequently applying pressure to the component in the grinding operation.

  • Publication number: 20120225615
    Abstract: An abrasive disc for a multiple disc grinding machine is described, including a disc-shaped support having a circumferential rim on which the abrasive material is placed and an opposing central hole for fitting on to a driving shaft of the grinding machine, said hole extending through the thickness of the disc-shaped support, in which a portion of said central hole has a diameter greater than the diameter of the connection to said shaft, such that an annular chamber is formed in the thickness of the support. The further disc includes at least one radial recess formed on a front surface of the disc-shaped support and extending from said annular chamber towards the circumferential rim of said disc, in such a way that a coolant fluid fed into the driving shaft can accumulate in said annular chamber and can then flow through said radial recess towards the abrasive edge of said disc.

  • Patent number: 7186173
    Abstract: A tool, particularly for milling operations, capable of being driven in rotation about its own main axis. The tool has a core provided with a plurality of abrasive elements extending from the core radially to the axis and spaced apart from each other angularly. Between at least one pair of abrasive elements adjacent to each other is provided at least one respective gap in the form of a cut extending radially in the core to a predefined distance from the axis.
