Methods and Advantages of Diamond Tools for Processing Stone Sphere

Aiming at the special-shaped processing problem of stone materials that many diamond tools suppliers are concerned about, we will give a simple introduction about methods and advantages of diamond tools for processing stone sphere.

At present, cylinder cutters are usually used for processing arc surface stone materials, and diamond is set in the circular edge of the cylinder end face. The thickness of diamond segment is slightly greater than the wall thickness of cylinder; When we process arc surface, on the one hand, the cylinder should rotate around its axis; on the other hand, the feed movement is also necessary along the the direction of coaxial line.

When we use diamond tool for machining the sphere, we should adjust the distance of the tool to h from the center of machining sphere tool. And stone blank should make rotating movement around an axis that needs go across the center of the sphere. After the rotation of a week, the processing for spherical zone is completed. And then we can adjust the azimuth of blank holder and repeat the above process for several times and the processing for the whole sphere can be finished.

Its main advantages are as follows: First, the sphere has high geometric accuracy and good surface quality. The machining method belongs to the envelope methods, whose formation of its surface is gradually processed with tools;

Second, the machining method does not need to add mechanical machine, equipments and tools. Now with the increasing demand for arc surface stone materials, many stone processing plants all have the existing diamond cylinder cutting tools, and we still use them to process the spherical outer surface of stone materials.

Third, in theory, a cylinder cutter can be used for processing any sphere that is greater than the diameter of the cutter, so it does not increase the number of cylinder cutter because of the change of the radius of sphere. What’s more, it improves the usage rates of the cutter, has high processing efficiency, and can be used for mass production.
