Figure 11: Cutting of a Coniflex coupling - CAD model
Coniflex couplings can be ground after heat treatment. Dressing of grinding
wheel profiles is not possible for Coniflex gears and couplings because of the
slim profile and the fact that dressing axially to the profile would change the
grinding wheel diameter, which in turn would change the root geometry from
part to part. The solution for Coniflex grinding was the usage of permanently
coated and non-dressable CBN grinding wheels.
