What are roll grinding wheels?

Roll grinding wheel is a grinding wheel used for grinding large rolls in steel mills. It is a glorified form of cylindrical grinding in which the rolls are sandwiched between centers and the grinding wheel is traversed so as to grind the rolls. The benefits of this type of grinding wheel are greater removal, less dressing required, freer cutting (less heat), and more uniformity and consistency. It also has a lower tendency to glaze. It is used in steel rolling mills to grind hard workpieces and back-up rolls. It is used in steel, aluminum, brass, copper, textile and paper.
                                                            

How to use the roll grinding wheel?

Roll grinding wheels are used on roll grinders, which are powerful grinding tools or machine tools used in the grinding process. Grinding is a common method of processing using an abrasive wheel or wheel as a cutting tool. Roll grinding is the main feature. Some roll grinders can do a lot of grinding tasks including some simple milling tasks.

Although a simple cylindrical grinding application, what makes Roll grinding challenging is the volume of stock removed from rolls, which are difficult to grind. The length of roll also provides a challenge for the wheel to retain its size and form during the traverse grinding process. Maintaining high grinding ratios/ roll reduction values is crucial in these applications, as they have a direct effect on the overall cost and cycle time.
