Abstract
A method for processing a ceramic honeycomb structure, the method comprising subjecting an outer peripheral surface of the ceramic honeycomb structure to centerless grinding in an in-feed mode by bringing a rotationally driving grinding wheel into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the ceramic honeycomb structure rotationally supported by an adjusting wheel, a blade, and a press roller.
Claims6
A method for processing a ceramic honeycomb structure, the method comprising:
- subjecting an outer peripheral surface of the ceramic honeycomb structure having a center axis to centerless grinding in an in-feed mode by bringing a rotationally driving grinding wheel into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the ceramic honeycomb structure rotationally supported by an adjusting wheel, a blade having a support surface, and a press roller;
- wherein the grinding wheel and the adjusting wheel each have a cylindrical shape;
- wherein an axle of the grinding wheel and an axle of the adjusting wheel each have a rotational axis that is parallel with the center axis of the ceramic honeycomb structure;
- and
- wherein the entire press a is disposed directly above the support surface of the blade.
A device for processing a ceramic honeycomb structure, the device being for subjecting an outer peripheral surface of the ceramic honeycomb structure to centerless grinding in an in-feed mode, the device comprising:
- an adjusting wheel, a blade having a support surface and a press roller, which are capable of rotationally supporting the ceramic honeycomb structure;
- and
- a grinding wheel capable of being rotationally driven and brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the ceramic honeycomb structure;
- wherein the grinding wheel and the adjusting wheel each have a cylindrical shape;
- wherein an axle of the grinding wheel and an axle of the adjusting wheel each have a rotational axis that is parallel with the center axis of the ceramic honeycomb structure;
- and
- wherein the entire press roller is disposed directly above the support surface of the blade.
