4 VIPER-most efficient machine on the market secures just 200 Q Low material removal rate. High Specific Grinding Energy. Conventional Grinding (Malkin) 7 Strategy: Maximum removal rate consistent with cost, quality and power available. Removal rate based on available power High Removal Rates can be achieved in Deep Grinding with Low surface grinding energy either using: A low workspeed and a very deep cut or A high workspeed and a less deep cut Wide cuts increase surface grinding energy and are less suitable 8 4

5 In terms of energy, the Optimos wheel produced lower specific energy compared to electro- plated CBN wheel. HEDG Specific Grinding energy versus material removal rate 9 Ball screw version Low work speed Low thrust Bent screw 10 5

12 Piezo Actuator Small Size Light weight ~210g Large Force compared to size For high frequency excitation ~>1kHz Accurate/ well defined displacement Piezo Stack provides large displacement Electromagnetic Shaker Large Size Heavy ~12kg Low Force compared to size Low frequency excitation ~<1Khz Low force and displacement at higher frequency 23 Technical Data: Length: 139mm Diameter: 18mm Push/Pull Force: 2000N/300N Displacement: 120µm Electrical Capacitance: 370nF For this Actuator a frequency above 150Hz results in a reduction in displacement. This reduction becomes significant above 700Hz 24 12

13 Before polarization, PZT crystallites have symmetric cubic unit cells (fig 1). At temperatures below the Curie temperature, the lattice becomes deformed and asymmetric (fig 2). The unit cell exhibits spontaneous polarization, i.e. the individual crystallites are piezoelectric. However, because of the random distribution of the domain orientations in the ceramic material no macroscopic piezoelectric behaviour is observed. Permanent alignment can be forced using a strong electric field. This process is called poling. The ceramic now exhibits piezoelectric properties and will change dimensions when an electric potential is applied. 25 Electrical Capacitance: 370nF For this Actuator a reduction in maximum displacement begins at frequencies above 150Hz. This reduction becomes significant above ~200Hz 26 13
