Belt and stone finish
Belt and stone finishing with Thielenhaus machines
Lorem IpsumFinishing, also known as superfinishing or microfinishing, is a high-precision process for improving workpiece surfaces. By rotating the workpiece and oscillating the finishing tool at the same time, an optimum workpiece surface is produced.
- Cylindrical and conical components are machined using the grooving or throughfeed process (see figures A and B). The tools oscillate linearly and the workpiece rotates.
- The tool and workpiece rotate to produce flat, spherically concave or convex surfaces on workpieces. The angle between the axis of rotation of the tool and the workpiece determines the surface profile (see figures D and E).
- Ball bearing raceways and other similar profiles are machined with tools that oscillate radially while the workpiece rotates (see Figure C). The combination of the movement of the tool and the rotation of the component results in an optimum workpiece surface.

Advantages of the belt finish
- Greater process uniformity due to identical initial conditions
- Greater stock removal with roller system + continuous belt feed, stock removal (radius) > 0.75xRz (possibly shorter contact time)
- Very long tool change intervals
- Lower concentricity requirements (< 30 µm)
- Reduced set-up effort with System Roll
- The roller system cleans itself by discharging the material removed and can be operated dry, with emulsion or with finishing oil (optimum)
Advantages of the stone finish
- Improving roundness
- Reduction of ripples
- Simple design tool carrier
- Most important property: Self-sharpening
