Title: Walter H Pfluger: Innovator in Grinding Technology
Introduction
Walter H Pfluger is a notable inventor based in Oberdorf, Switzerland. He has made significant contributions to the field of grinding technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to improving grinding machines.
Latest Patents
His latest patents include a grinding machine with a device for conditioning a grinding wheel and a method of conditioning a grinding wheel. This advanced grinding machine is designed to grind a workpiece effectively. It features a machine frame and a bearing device that is movable along guides. The cup-shaped grinding wheel is rotatably drivable about a grinding wheel axis and is electrically insulated. The grinding wheel is connected to a generator, allowing for enhanced functionality. The device for profile dressing, sharpening, and cleaning the grinding wheel consists of a single cup-shaped electrode, which is drivable about its central axis. This electrode is placed on a slide, maintaining a working gap between its machining surface and the annular abrasive surface. When a voltage is applied, a spark erosion discharge occurs in the gap, enabling optimal conditioning of the grinding wheel through electric discharge machining. Additionally, his design of antifriction axial guide means incorporates roller-shaped elements between races formed on the parts to be guided relative to one another. This innovative design increases bearing capacity and rigidity while maintaining low-friction rolling conditions.
