Modern Dressing and Grinding Technologies: Tools and Processes provides a deep understanding of modern dressing and grinding processes. The book discusses the theory and practice of both processes, including modern industrial applications and case studies throughout. It focuses on influencing parameters and correlations, outlining and analyzing dressing and grinding processes and highlighting commonly encountered errors and how to avoid them. Practical techniques and applications are covered throughout, including cylindrical grinding, centerless grinding, surface grinding, free-form grinding, hybrid grinding processes, and mechanical and non-mechanical dressing processes.

Different machine types and methods are also discussed, such as truing machines, closed-loop machines, abrasive machining, precision machining, and laser-assisted machining.

Bahman Azarhoushang Professor of Mechanical and Medical Engineering, Furtwangen University, Furtwangen im Schwarzwald, Germany. Bahman Azarhoushang has been a Professor of Mechanical and Medical Engineering at Furtwangen University (Germany) since 2013, where he also serves as the Head of the Center for Excellence in Machining. There he has access to various modern CNC machine tools and measuring devices. He has published more than 160 publications in various languages (with more than 60 publications in peer-reviewed journals) and lectured at numerous national and international conferences. He has authored several books and patents in the field of abrasive and precision machining. He is the editor of various international journals and co-authored the 3rd edition of 'Tribology and Fundamentals of Abrasive Machining Processes' (Elsevier). He teaches courses in Manufacturing Engineering, Machine Tools, Production Metrology, and Precision Manufacturing. His main research areas are conditioning (mechanical and nonmechanical dressing) and grinding (high-speed, high-efficiency grinding; nonconventional grinding), precision machining, tribology, innovative tools, the creation of extremely fine surfaces and structures, and process optimization.
