Title: Innovations by Daniel Andrew Mavro-Michaelis
Introduction
Daniel Andrew Mavro-Michaelis is an accomplished inventor based in Leeds, GB. He has made significant contributions to the field of grinding technology, holding a total of three patents. His innovative approaches have enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of grinding processes.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is focused on a method of monitoring the wear of a grinding wheel. This method measures the force exerted between the wheel and a workpiece, generating a warning signal when the measured force exceeds a predetermined threshold value. A signal proportional to the normal grinding force is obtained by measuring the electrical power drawn by the wheel feed drive motor during grinding. The value of the force proportional signal is compared with corresponding values obtained during the grinding of one or more preceding similar workpieces. This method is particularly useful for grinding wheels that include an annular ridge for grinding an undercut in a workpiece, as the ridge portion typically performs more work and is subject to greater wear.
Another notable patent involves a workpiece grinding method that achieves a constant stock removal rate. In this method, a reduction in the finish grinding time is achieved by rotating the component through only a single revolution during a final grinding step. The depth of cut and the component speed of rotation are controlled during that single revolution to maintain a substantially constant specific metal removal rate. The headstock velocity can vary between 2 and 20 rpm during this final grinding step, utilizing a grinding machine with 17.5 kW of available power for rotating the wheel.
