Figure 6.1: HayWHNKN U3 Grinding Machine ready for operation.
- Tool Selection and Preparation: Choose the correct R8 collet (4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, or 12mm) for your tool. Clean the tool thoroughly before sharpening.
- Mounting the Tool: Insert the tool into the appropriate collet and secure it firmly in the tool holder. Ensure the tool is correctly aligned for the desired grind.
- Angle Adjustment: Use the multi-angle adjustment mechanisms to set the required taper angle (0°-180°), relief angle (0°-45°), and negative angle (0°-26°) for your specific tool type. The machine allows for precise adjustments to achieve optimal sharpness and geometry.
- Precision Setting: Utilize the high-precision adjustment knob, which offers 0.01mm per grid scale, to fine-tune the grinding depth and avoid material waste.
- Power On: Turn on the machine using the main power switch. The floodlight will illuminate the work area.
- Grinding Process: Slowly and steadily feed the tool into the grinding wheel using the feed adjustment. Maintain consistent pressure and movement. The tool holder part is equipped with bearings for smooth, wear-resistant operation.
- 360° Rotation: For complex tool geometries, the machine's 360° rotation feature, combined with the high brightness LED work light, allows for convenient and thorough grinding from multiple angles.
- Inspection: Periodically stop the machine and inspect the tool for sharpness and correct geometry. Repeat grinding as necessary.
- Power Off: Once sharpening is complete, turn off the machine and allow the grinding wheel to come to a complete stop before removing the tool.
