A grinding wheel includes a support body which has a circumferential surface and a central coupling region for attaching the grinding wheel to a rotary drive for rotating the grinding wheel about a rotational axis running through the central coupling region. The grinding wheel also includes a grinding layer which is applied onto the circumferential surface of the support body. The support body includes a first part and a second part connected to the first part. The first part has the circumferential surface, and the second part has the coupling region and consists essentially of a vibration-damping material.

A support assembly for supporting a surface treatment pad on a backing plate mounted on the spindle of a surface treatment tool includes a plurality of petal-shaped segments, each segment separated from an adjacent segment by a radially extending slit. The support assembly, which may be a unitary body printed from a single material using a 3-D printer may include three layers: a rear layer that rests against the backing plate, a front layer that rests against the surface treatment pad and includes the petal-shaped segments, and a compressible central layer interposed between the rear and front layers. The front layer may also include circumferentially extending grooves and ribs.

A workpiece fixing device for fixing a workpiece by vacuum for machining thereof includes a support device on which the workpiece can be laid for fixing, and at least one vacuum chamber which is formed starting from the support device. The workpiece fixing device has a first fixing region and a second fixing region different from the first fixing region. The support device has a first support channel profile in the first fixing region and a second support channel profile different from the first support channel profile in the second fixing region.

A sanding disc stabilizing structure of an orbital sander comprises a casing, a sanding power source, a sanding disc, and at least four springs. The sanding power source is assembled on the casing and comprises a drive shaft and a tool holder disposed on the drive shaft and offset from an axis of the drive shaft. The center of the sanding disc driven by the sanding power source to perform an orbital motion is disposed on the tool holder with a locking screw. Two ends of each of the at least four springs are respectively disposed on the casing and the sanding disc. The free length of each of at least four springs is greater than the spacing between an installation part of the casing and an installation part of the sanding disc provided for one of the at least four springs.

The present disclosure relates to a grinding head for a floor grinding machine for grinding floor surfaces of stone or stone-like material. Such a grinding head comprises a lower casing member, comprising a lower support and an upwardly extending edge portion, and an upper casing member, comprising an upper cover and a downwardly extending edge portion, wherein the upper casing member is joinable to the lower casing member by causing axially distal portions of the edge portions to bear on each other.

A processing device with a constant force spindle capable of quickly switching a force control axial direction and a processing method thereof, having a quick-detach unit fixed at a constant force control unit by a first quick-connecting piece, and respectively connecting and moving synchronously with the spindle by a second quick-connecting piece and a third quick-connecting piece, the first quick-connecting piece moves along with a working end of a multi-axial transfer unit, and when combined, a first axial direction that is coaxial with the force control axial direction is defined; alternatively, the first quick-connecting piece moves along with the working end of the multi-axial transfer unit, and when combined, a second axial direction that is coaxial with the force control axial direction is defined, the first axial direction is not parallel to the second axial direction and has an included angle.

A creep feed grinding apparatus includes a chuck table, a grinding unit having a spindle and a grinding wheel mounted on a lower end of the spindle, the grinding wheel including a plurality of grindstones disposed in an annular array on a surface of an annular base, the grindstones following an annular track upon rotation of the spindle, a moving mechanism for moving the chuck table and the grinding unit relative to each other along a predetermined direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the spindle, and a bottom surface state adjusting mechanism for adjusting states of bottom surfaces of the grindstones by cleaning and/or correcting the bottom surfaces of the grindstones. The bottom surface state adjusting mechanism is positioned outside of a relative movement area of the chick table in which the chuck table and the grinding unit are moved relative to each other by the moving mechanism.

A polish pad replacing apparatus includes a polish spindle loaded with a first polish pad, a first roller movable reciprocally under the polish spindle, a clamping element and a position sensor. The clamping element, disposed at the first roller, is to clamp or release the first polish pad. In replacing the first polish pad, a controller moves the polish spindle to a replacing position, the position sensor detects the polish spindle and if positive, have the controller to moves the first roller to insert the clamping element between the polish spindle and the first polish pad so as to clamp an edge of the first polish pad, the first roller is then moved to peel the first polish pad off, and then the first roller is moved to paste a second polish pad onto the polish spindle.

A grinder tool with blind mounting of a disc includes a center alignment mechanism having a first contact and a second contact and a rotational device including an axle that is movable with respect to the center alignment mechanism. A hub is mounted to the axle including a first coupling interface. The disc has a second coupling interface for mating with the first coupling interface. The center alignment mechanism is movable a mounting distance relative to the hub and contacts the disc with the first contact and the second contact to center align the first coupling interface with the second coupling interface. The rotational device is to slowly rotate the hub to angle align the first coupling interface with the second coupling interface to allow the disc to mate and attach to the hub.
