The invention pertains in general to devices, systems and methods for removing vapor and heat generated during a restoration cycle in an optical disc restoration device.

An apparatus for edge grinding a glazing comprising a grinding wheel, rotatable about an axis, a groove in a circumference of the wheel and first and second orifices arranged on first and second sides of the plane of the groove, which form first and second jets of coolant directed substantially into the groove on first and second trajectories not in the plane of the groove. A corresponding process for edge grinding causes fewer sharp portions and fewer small fractures in the glazing edge than the prior art. A glazing manufactured by the apparatus or the process has higher edge strength than the prior art.

The present invention provides a wafer polishing apparatus, including: a surface plate having a polishing pad attached on an upper surface thereof; a slurry injection nozzle configured to inject slurry toward the polishing pad; at least one polishing head configured to accommodate a wafer and rotate at an upper portion of the surface plate; an index configured to support so as to connect the at least one polishing head at an upper portion thereof; and a particle suction part coupled to the index and configured to suck particles generated during polishing of the wafer.

A grinding wheel assembly has a tool holder, a mounting shaft connected to the tool holder, and a grinding wheel mounted on the mounting shaft. The tool holder has a first coolant passage defined through the tool holder. The mounting shaft has a second coolant passage communicating with the first coolant passage. The grinding wheel has multiple third coolant passages defined through the grinding wheel and communicating with the second coolant passage. The first coolant passage, the second coolant passage, and the multiple third coolant passages are utilized for a coolant to flow through. Thereby, the grinding wheel and a workpiece can be cooled down without setting up any pipeline and nozzle for the coolant in a grinding machine.

A diamond special-shaped grinding wheel includes an upper base body, a lower base body, and a grinding ring. The upper base body is disposed at the upper end of the lower base body, and the upper base body and the lower base body are fixedly connected to form a grinding wheel body. The grinding ring is fixed to an outer ring of the grinding wheel body; the grinding wheel body is internally provided with one or two annular grooves communicated with the upper end face of the grinding wheel body. A plurality of mixed flow channels is formed in the grinding ring. One end of each mixed flow channel extends to an annular grinding opening of the grinding ring, the other end is communicated with one annular groove, and the annular grooves are communicated with an external negative pressure air source device. Also disclosed is a vertical machining cooling system.

The present disclosure relates to a floor grinding machine for grinding floor surfaces of stone or stone-like material. Such a machine comprises a machine frame, a grinding head 2, supported by and being rotatable relative to the machine frame, a grinding head hood 2, which defines a space in which the grinding head 1 is rotatable, a hollow and resilient member 4, arranged in the space, and a pressurized fluid source, operatively connected to the hollow member 4 to supply said pressurized fluid, whereby the hollow member 4 is resiliently expandable upon supply of said fluid.

An edge trimming apparatus includes a chuck table that causes a ring-shaped groove with an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of a wafer to communicate with a suction source to hold under suction a lower surface of the wafer by the ring-shaped groove, a cutting unit that rotates a cutting blade and annularly cuts a circumferential part of the wafer held by the chuck table, and a cleaning unit that cleans a region outside the ring-shaped groove in the upper surface of the table and the upper surface of the table including the ring-shaped groove. The cleaning unit is positioned to the region outside the ring-shaped groove in the upper surface of the table and the upper surface of the chuck table including the ring-shaped groove, and the chuck table is rotated to clean the ring-shaped groove and the upper surface.

A sample grinder includes a base having a bowl and a rotatable drive plate to operably support a grinding wheel. A head is configured to support a specimen holder and has a first drive for rotational drive of the specimen holder and a second drive for moving the head and specimen holder toward and away from the drive plate. The head has a sleeve that is larger than the specimen holder. A cover is disposed over the bowl and has an opening larger than the sleeve so that the sleeve fits through the opening when the specimen holder is moved toward the rotatable drive plate. The grinding wheel is mountable to the plate in a single radial orientation only. A dressing system is operably connected to a controller to monitor the current of the drive plate motor and/or the head first drive actuates the dressing system based upon the current drawn by the drive plate motor and/or the head first drive motor falling below a predetermined value.

The protective cooling cover comprises a hollow shell defining a generally semi-cylindrical cavity (15) that covers a portion of a cutting disc (2) at the top thereof and that is delimited by two lateral walls (11, 12) and a curved perimeter wall (13), a cooling device including a tube connected to a cooling liquid supply and to a cooling liquid projecting nozzle (31), and a fastening device for fixing the cooling liquid projecting nozzle (31) at different positions within the cavity (15) of the shell for projecting cooling liquid to different areas of the cutting disc, the fastening device including a plurality of first fasteners (17) connected to the periphery of the cavity, and a second fastener (32) connected to the cooling liquid projecting nozzle (31), the first and second fasteners (17, 32) providing a snap fit releasable connection.

A diamond special-shaped grinding wheel includes an upper base body, a lower base body, and a grinding ring. The upper base body is disposed at the upper end of the lower base body, and the upper base body and the lower base body are fixedly connected to form a grinding wheel body. The grinding ring is fixed to an outer ring of the grinding wheel body; the grinding wheel body is internally provided with one or two annular grooves communicated with the upper end face of the grinding wheel body. A plurality of mixed flow channels is formed in the grinding ring. One end of each mixed flow channel extends to an annular grinding opening of the grinding ring, the other end is communicated with one annular groove, and the annular grooves are communicated with an external negative pressure air source device. Also disclosed is a vertical machining cooling system.
