Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flexible abrasive member comprising a backing layer to which at one side an attachment is mounted and to which at another side deposits are adhered consisting of abrasive particles and bonding material such as a resin.
  • abrasive members are used for coarsegrinding or polishing hard materials like stone, glass, concrete and ceramic by example.
  • abrasive members by using moulds in which resin or other bonding materials, comprising abrasive particles, are being poured or sintered.
  • moulds may be made of metal or synthetic material.
  • these abrasive particles may be diamond particles.
  • the moulding techniques known in the art comprise at least one mould suited for either multiple use or one time use. In case of one time use the mould is lost and does not fulfill any function in the method of making the abrasive member anymore, nor in the performance of the abrasive member itself. Losing this mould causes this moulding technique to be expensive, especially in case of mass production of the abrasive members.
  • moulds suited for multiple use are being used, these moulds must be made of hard-wearing material such as hardmetal. Both applying such expensive material and forming the mould cause this moulding technique to be expensive, although typically suited for applying in mass production techniques. Moreover, such these moulds are suited for only one product form. Slight or great alterations concerning product form result in the need for new moulds.
  • EP-A-0 147 633 discloses a flexible abrasive member comprising a backing layer to which at one side an attachment is mounted and to which at the other side a permanent one way mould is attached in which deposits are embedded consisting of abrasive particles and bonding material, whereby the mould extends along the height of said deposits.
  • One object of the invention is to provide a flexible abrasive member produced by a moulding technique much cheaper and faster to operate than moulding techniques known in the art, used for making flexible abrasive members.
  • a typical advantage of the present invention is the possibility to produce moulds of any simple or complex shape much cheaper and easier than in the known methods.
  • the mould as well as the deposits may be made of any ceramic, metal, resin or synthetic material as well as graphite, glass, quartz or sand.
  • the mould comprises a through hole substantially in the middle of the mould.
  • this hole forms the area not suited for abrading purposes when applying rotating abrasive members where the axis of the hole is the axis of rotation.
  • This through hole may also be present in the backing layer and the attachment. This hole may be provided for several purposes. By example, an axle may be put through or coolant may be supplied through.
  • the mould may be made of a synthetic material.
  • this material is a flexible foam material, such as "Plastozote" made by the British Petroleum corporation in sheetform from 1-50 mm thickness.
  • the flexibility of the abrasive member is for a great deal determined by the flexibility of the mould.
  • Particularly flexible abrasive members are required when grinding or polishing curved shapes, as in the case of optical lenses and complex shaped products as a body out of stone or marble.
  • the synthetic material can be a spongetype foam holding water or coolant. This presents the advantage that water or other type of coolant is no longer needed for cooling purposes at the machine when applying the abrasive member.
  • the invention relates not only to the abrasive members such as herein referred to and described, but also to the method whereby such resulted. abrasive members are produced or from which these abrasive members
  • moulding After moulding the mould is permanently present on the product, supports the deposits and conducts heat away.
  • This moulding technique is much cheaper and faster to operate than moulding techniques known in the art, used for making flexible abrasive members, specifically because the mould is not lost, after moulding the mould has a function in the product making other arrangements for the same purpose redundant, and after moulding the mould does not have to be taken away, cleaned, greased and prepared for the following sequence.
  • the method of making the flexible abrasive member may comprise the step of applying heatshrinkage in or after one of the steps mentioned above, for the mould to obtain a desired thickness.
  • heatshrinkage not only the thickness of the mould can be adjusted, the openings present in the mould material can be adjusted also. The latter influences the flexibility of the mould and the capacity for containing water or other type of coolant.
  • the method of making the flexible abrasive member may comprise the steps of:
  • the method of making the flexible abrasive member may comprise the step adhering the fill-in mould to the surface of said primary mould.
  • the method of making the flexible abrasive member may comprise the step of applying heatshrinkage in or after one of the steps mentioned above, for the fill-in mould to obtain a desired thickness.
  • heatshrinkage not only the thickness of the fill-in mould can be adjusted, the openings present in the fill-in mould material can be adjusted also. The latter influences the flexibility of the mould and the capacity for containing water or other type of coolant.
  • the external shape of the fill-in mould and one or more openings corresponding to the openings in the primary mould are provided by punching or cutting a sheet material.
  • the fill-in mould may be positioned on top of the surface of said primary mould prior to punching or cutting the external shape of the mould and/or the openings corresponding to the openings in said primary mould.
  • a flexible abrasive member 1 embodying the invention comprising a backing layer 2 to which at one side 3 an attachment 4 is mounted and to which at the other side 5 deposits 6 are adhered consisting of abrasive particles 7 and bonding material 8 such as a resin, and a permanent one way primary mould 9 attached to said other side 5 of the backing layer 2 substantially encircling the deposits 6.
  • the permanent one way mould 9 extends all along the height of the deposits 6.
  • a fill-in mould 13 has been provided on top of the surface of the primary mould 9.
  • the fill-in mould 13 extends along the rest of the height of the deposits 6, which height is not being convered by the primary mould 9.
  • the fill-in mould 13 has a particularly desired external shape and one or more openings corresponding to the openings 12 of the primary mould 9.
  • FIG 2 a flexible abrasive member 1 is shown having a permanent one way mould 9 extending along part of the height of the deposits 6.
  • the flexible abrasive member 1 comprises a through hole 10, 11 substantially in the centre of the member 1 through the permanent one way mould 9 and through the backing layer 2 and the attachment 4 respectively.
  • the through hole 10, 11 may be absent or may be a blind hole not extending all through the height of the member 1.
