Abstract:
The device is for grinding a pipe from an inside. The device has a spindle arranged to be rotated. The device further has protrusions fastened to the spindle. The protrusions have a strip causing an elastic force when being bent. The protrusions are arranged to position the device or a part of the device inside the pipe. The protrusions have blades arranged to grind the inner surface of the pipe, while the spindle is being rotated.

Methods for making the sintered agglomerates and abrasive tools containing the sintered agglomerates are described.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for reconditioning tires while on lift trucks where a cutting tool is mounted to the lift truck and brought in contact with the tire and the tire is rotated, thereby removing material to return the tire to a more circular shape.
Abstract:
A grinding method for single-disc cylindrical grinding of elongated objects, such as cylindrical paper machine rollers, in which method the object to be ground is rotated about its axis and a grinding stone is rotated and its position on the surface of the object being ground is adjusted so that the grinding point of the grinding stone is held substantially at a constant distance from the center axis of the object being ground regardless of the deflection of the object. In the method, the position of the grinding stone is adjusted by means of an oscillating positioning controller synchronized with the rotation of the roller and receiving feedback from a measured quantity that bears a linear correlation to the change of position of the surface being ground.
Abstract:
In-line grinding device for mill rolls and/or pinch rolls, arranged in cooperation with the working surface of the working rolls (11) and/or support rolls (12) and/or intermediate rolls of a rolling stand for sheet, strip and/or wide plate, or in cooperation with pinch rolls placed downstream of the rolling stands and upstream of the winding reels, comprising a plurality of grinding units arranged at intervals on a single support (13) and defined by a grinding tool (17) rotating on a longitudinal axis (14) substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the roll (11, 12) to be ground, the grinding tools (17) covering in their entirety a substantial part of the length of the relative roll, each grinding unit (16) having the specific axis of rotation which is movable independently and autonomously with respect to the other grinding units (16) associated with the same stationary support (13), in a substantially radial direction with respect to the longitudinal axis of the roll (11, 12) to be ground.
Abstract:
A grinding head unit is constituted by a grinding wheel, a drive device for rotating the grinding wheel, and a movement device for moving the grinding wheel. When vibration of a mill roll is applied to the grinding wheel, a plain wheel integral with an abrasive layer of the grinding wheel and having an elastically deforming function is deflected to absorb the vibration energy. The contact force between the abrasive layer and the mill roll is measured for determining a profile of the mill roll. The mill roll can be thereby ground into a target profile while absorbing the vibration transmitted from the mill roll and measuring the profile of the mill roll, without causing any chattering marks.
Abstract:
An electric drive motor with a small size and large rotary torque is used as a driving device for a grinding wheel of a grinding device. The motor such as an AC servo motor is encased in a casing to protect it from humidity, high temperature, scattered oil, etc. The atmosphere in the casing is controlled to protect the motor. The pressure, temperature and humidity in the casing are controlled by introducing dried air into the casing.
Abstract:
A device for cleaning or polishing a roll (4), mounted for rotation about an axis and comprising a cleaning roller (41) mounted for rotation on a support device comprising two parallel arms (15, 16) extending, respectively, between an inner end (15a, 16a) and an outer end (15b, 16b), and which can be moved between a position in which the roller (41) is applied against the roll (4) and a retracted position, and an arrangement for controlling the rotation of the roller (41) about its axis x'x. The outer ends (15b, 16b) of the two support arms (15, 16) are articulated about an axis y'y parallel to the axis of the roll (4) respectively on two fixed, aligned bearings (7, 7') which are simultaneously pivotable about the axis y'y in order to apply the roller (41) against the roll (4). The rotation of the roller is controlled from a rotary device (27) centered on the pivoting axis y'y and transmitted to a driven end (19) of the roller (41) by a kinematic chain (26) mounted on the corresponding support arm (15) so as to pivot with it about the axis y'y of the control device (27).
Abstract:
A device for grinding a cylinder surface is provided, the cylinder being one of at least three substantially parallel, axially offset cylinders. The device includes a central body member and at least three supporting elements, each of the supporting elements being associated with a corresponding one of the cylinders, the supporting elements supporting the central body member relative to the cylinders. One or more belt grinder assemblies are provided, each belt grinder assembly including a belt grinder and a device for mounting the belt grinder on the central body member. Each belt grinder includes a contact wheel, an abrasive belt, extending around the contact wheel, and a device for supporting the contact wheel relative to a one of the cylinders to be ground. The supporting device includes a device for adjusting a position of the contact wheel relative to the one of the cylinders to be ground.
