Fuel Injection Seat Grinding – Hybrid Dressing Solution

Implementation of Hybrid (hDD) dressing technology makes 30% improvement in part quality

setup

A high-production manufacturer of fuel injection nozzles recently upgraded their dressing setup from a single-layer plated rotary disk to a hybrid-bonded hDD dressing tool. The result was a 30% improvement in the stability of the seat angle, seat depth, and roundness. Success of this trial can be attributed to the porous structure of the hDD tool, which produced a sharper and more efficient conditioning of the CBN wheel, which in turn reduced grinding forces, deflection, wheel wear, and vibration during the grinding operation.
