Hello,
I have some questions about the wet grinding machine. I want to design a device that enables so-called measuring tips (400mm long, 8mm diameter, tip angle 30-50 °) to be ground or sharpened. The measuring tips are used in an induction furnace in which you drive on a bolt heated to over 700 ° C and measure the temperature. Through this process, these tips become dull and blurred relatively quickly and therefore often have to be reground. A device should enable this process. The idea is to rotate the measuring tip and the grindstone and grind the tip with a feed movement. My question now only relates to the grinding machine or grinding stone. Can you grind such tips on these wet grinding machines. How long does the process take compared to conventional grinding machines. The material is made of nickel or chrome. Is this wet grindstone sufficient to prevent sparks and additional cooling (e.g. using cooling lubricant)?
