VDI 3398:2014-04

The standard describes the centerless grinding of rotationally symmetric workpieces, where the workpieces are not fixed between centering tips but are guided freely on a support and grinded between a grinding wheel and a control wheel with different diameters. The geometry of the process as well as its necessary components are discussed in detail. Possible errors as well as strategies to avoid them are addressed. Concepts for centerless grinding machines are described extensively.
