Cylindrical Micro-Fabrication for Optical Fiber Ferrules by ELID-Centerless Grinding

Abstract

The development of the micro-fabrication of structural components such as ceramics, optical glass, alloy steels etc., is increasingly required with the rapid growth of production in the recent years. The ELID (Electrolytic In-Process Dressing) grinding technique is a new grinding process using rigid metallic bond diamond wheels with the assistance of a special pulse electrolytic in-process dressing method.
