Case Study: Improving Productivity in a Grinding Workshop Using Diamond Dressers
 

Overview

In the world of precision manufacturing, grinding plays a vital role in shaping and finishing metal components. However, when grinding wheels become glazed or uneven, it can lead to poor surface finishes, increased downtime, and rising costs.

This case study highlights how one mid-sized grinding workshop improved its productivity by 35% and reduced tool maintenance costs by 40% simply by upgrading to high-quality diamond dressers from Paras Diamond Co.

Client Background

• Industry: Automotive components manufacturing

• Setup: 12 surface grinding machines running 2 shifts daily

• Common Challenges:

  • Frequent wheel glazing

  • Poor surface finish on hardened steel parts

  • High downtime for wheel maintenance

  • Inconsistent quality due to manual dressing

Problems Identified

1. Frequent Wheel Glazing:
   The workshop was using conventional dressing tools that could not efficiently remove clogged material from grinding wheels.

2. Inconsistent Surface Finish:
   Due to manual dressing with basic tools, the finish varied from part to part, leading to frequent rework.

3. High Dressing Time:
   Manual dressing was taking 5–6 minutes per wheel, affecting daily production targets.

4. Uneven Wheel Wear:
   Poor dressing technique caused the wheel to wear unevenly, reducing its usable life.

Solution Offered by Paras Diamond Co

After analyzing the workshop's requirements, we recommended the following:

• Blade-Type Diamond Dressers for surface grinding machines

• Cluster-Type Dressers for aggressive dressing of glazed wheels

• Training Session for machine operators on correct dressing angles, pressure, and frequency

Implementation Results (Within 3 Weeks)
