Patent attributes
An apparatus for cylindrically grinding workpieces includes a first holding tool (100) for positioning pre-grinding workpieces (40) and a second holding tool (200) for positioning partially ground workpieces (i.e. workpieces which have been ground on one side only). The first holding tool (100) defines a first groove (226) for containing the pre-grinding workpieces to be partially ground and the second bonding defines a second groove (322) for containing the partially ground workpieces. At least one first resisting member (26) and at least one first back plate (24) detachably connect with the at least one first holding member (22), and thus making up the first holing tool (100). At least one second resisting member (36) and a at least one second back plate (34) detachably connect at least one second holding member (36), and thus making up the second holding tool (100). The present invention also provides a process for cylindrically grinding workpieces.
