Diamond dressing rolls (profiling rolls)

  • Diamond dressing rolls (profiling rolls)

Diamond dressing or profiling rolls are rotating dressing tools used to precisely transfer defined geometries onto the grinding wheel. They feature a diamond coating whose structure varies depending on the design, influencing both cost and tool life.
Depending on the manufacturing method, the range spans from simpler electroplated rolls to more sophisticated versions with specifically arranged diamonds, enabling high precision and long service life. The profile is transferred by rolling the tool over the grinding wheel, while the resulting surface structure can be deliberately controlled by adjusting the relative speed.
