Abstract
A superabrasive grain setting apparatus for arranging superabrasive grains on a surface of a manufacturing mold used in manufacturing a grinding tool includes a grip and raising mechanism for gripping the mold in a horizontal state and for turning the mold to a vertical state. A six-axis control robot is composed of a base arm mechanism with three controlled axes and a wrist unit with three controlled axes attached to the base arm mechanism. A superabrasive grain supply device has a grain storage for storing the superabrasive grains and a grain separation mechanism for separating the superabrasive grains in the grain storage one by one to a suction position. A suction nozzle is detachably mounted on an endmost arm of the robot and provided with a bent nose portion for drawing a grain of superabrasive to a nozzle end thereof at the suction position.
