Material removal processes of a structure are disclosed. These processes can define several features. For example, metal structure can include an interior recess surrounded by a sidewall. The structure can further include a base portion integrally formed with the sidewall. The sidewall can include an opening extending through the sidewall and into the interior recess. The sidewall can undergo a material removal process to include multiple curved regions. The sidewall, the first curved region, and the second curved region can be polished to include a reflectivity different than a reflectivity of an exterior region of the base portion. A single multi-axes lathe having multiple spindles performs several material removal processes under a continuous machine cutting process. The spindles may include clamping features that allow a first spindle to perform a first operation then pass the metal structure to a second spindle. Additional processes include lapping, polishing, and linear brushing.

The present invention discloses an online burr removing device for a wheel. The device comprises a brush moving system, online transfer parts, clamp units, a lifting plate rotating part. When the device is used, one motor can simultaneously drive an inner brush, an outer brush and a plurality of round brushes to rotate, and the rotating speeds of the three kinds of brushes can be appropriate by setting an appropriate drive ratio; the device can avoid the problem that the linear speed is low in the center but high at the outer edge when an integrated brush rotates at the same angular speed; meanwhile, the device has the characteristics of high automation degree, advanced process, simple structure and high safety and stability.

A three-dimensional feature is formed in a surface of a component. Material is removed from the component by rotating an abrading tool about a first axis. While the abrading tool is rotated, the component (and/or a shaft coupled to the abrading tool) is rotated on a second axis. The second axis may be transverse to the first axis and may run through a center of the three-dimensional feature. The abrading tool may correspond to the three-dimensional feature. For example, the abrading tool may be configured to contact an entirety of an exterior of the three-dimensional feature during the removal operation, fill the three-dimensional feature during the removal operation, and/or have a shape that corresponds to the shape of the three-dimensional feature in two planes that are normal to each other.

Disclosed are a process and apparatus for polishing a glass article (1201).

The polishing process comprises bringing a rotating article (1201) to be polished into contact with various centrifugally outspread flexible flaps of a rotating flexible flap grinding wheel (1101), with a grinding wheel (1101) rotation shaft being parallel to an article (1201) rotation shaft; and pneumatically controlling the feed of the flexible flap grinding wheel (1101) relative to the surface of the article (1201) to be polished, such that the outer edges of the flaps of the flexible flap grinding wheel (1101) are in pressure contact with the surface to be polished of the article (1201) to be polished, and polishing same. This polishing process can restore a worn glass bottle, particularly a glass bottle having a profiled contour, to the extent that same looks like new at a lower cost. The corresponding polishing apparatus can realize automatic and continuous grinding polishing of worn glass bottles.
