Abstract:
To uniformly bring an abrasive into contact with a workpiece and to achieve desired surface roughness. A polishing tool sliding on a narrow part of the workpiece includes an abrasive retaining layer configured to allow an abrasive to be retained on a surface, and an elastic layer that is stacked on the abrasive retaining layer and is configured to press the abrasive retained in the abrasive retaining layer against the workpiece. The elastic layer is preferably elastically deformable over a sliding stroke of the polishing tool, and a driving unit that causes the polishing tool to slide on the workpiece is preferably connected to the polishing tool.

A tool includes a flexible section; a head that extends form the flexible section; and an exciter within the head. A method of additively manufacturing a component including burrowing a tool into a conglomerated powder within an internal passage of an additively manufactured component, the tool vibrating in a manner to facilitate removal of the conglomerated powder.
Abstract:
A method of improving the reflectivity of a surface of an internal combustion engine, the internal combustion engine having a cylindrical or non-cylindrical internal wall of an internal combustion chamber in which one or more pistons move and in which combustion occurs, the method comprising polishing a surface of the internal combustion chamber, said surface during use of the internal combustion engine exposed to combustion, said polishing effective to increase a reflectivity of the surface. The surface may include a first zone not traversed by the one or more pistons and polished in a first manner (pressure, time, electrical current density or voltage) to yield a first reflectivity and a second zone traversed by the one or more pistons polished in a different manner and yielding a second reflectivity.
Abstract:
A bound block of detachable sheets is disclosed, including a plurality of individual sheets, the edges of which are aligned, where the individual sheets are bound to a binding sheet, which is furnished with an adhesive, where the butt-edges of the individual sheets are adherent to the binding sheet, forming the block, and where a bracket is introduced onto the bound block, effectively restricting the bound block from over-opening.
Abstract:
The mandrel assemblies include a double face box mandrel assembly with box refacing tube, male mandrel adapter for engaging within a bore of the box refacing tube, a box mandrel assembly floating over the male mandrel adapter and connected to a drill pipe connection.

The cutting tool has an abrasive grit disposed continuously around a circumference of the cutting tool. The tool holder has a first coolant passage and a secondary coolant passage that extends at an angle from the first coolant passage.
Abstract:
The disk-shaped substrate inner circumference polishing method for polishing an inner circumference of a disk-shaped substrate including a portion having an opening hole at the center thereof includes inserting a brush having a shaft core into the portion having the opening hole of the disk-shaped substrate; fixing one end and the other end of the brush to a pair of rotating shafts that are provided at mutually detached positions and pulling at least any one of the one end and the other end of the brush and applying tension in the axial direction to the shaft core of the brush; and rotating the brush and polishing the inner circumference of the disk-shaped substrate.
Abstract:
A grinder with built-in grinding agent dispenser includes a driving shank having an adapter end for operatively coupling with a grinder machine for being driven to rotate, a grinding shaft operatively coupling with the driving shank for being driven to rotate, an abrasive arrangement provided at the grinding shaft for refining a surface of a workpiece, and a grinding agent dispenser built-in within the grinder for guiding a flow of grinding agent. The dispenser has a supplying channel connected to a supplying inlet, and a grinding channel connected to a dispensing outlet and communicatively connected to the supplying channel, wherein the supplying channel and the grinding channel are provided within the driving shank and the grinding shaft, so that when the grinding agent is feeding into the supplying channel via the supplying inlet, the grinding agent is guided to flow to the dispensing outlet, so as to disperse grinding agent.

Abstract:
A method for establishing different parameters of a surface of a work piece during machining of the surface using a spindle supporting a tool and displacement sensors for measuring displacement to which the spindle is subjected during machining. The method involves machining work pieces with different back off times to create sets of sensor signals representing spindle deflections. The machined work pieces are measured and then the stored sensor signals are compared with the measurement results of the same work pieces. Transfer constants are calculated representing the influence of the total deflection of the machine stiffness on the sensor signals. Displacement sensor signals obtained upon machining subsequent work pieces are processed with the transfer constants to give a series of sensor signals representing the true total deflection of the loaded and running machine stiffness chain to permit calculation of different parameters of the subsequently machined work pieces.
