Overview
ISO 15637-2:2002 is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It specifically addresses holding fixtures for cylindrical abrasive sleeves used in stationary grinding machines. This part of ISO 15637 defines the dimensions, tolerances, marking, and designation requirements for holding fixtures designed to clamp cylindrical abrasive sleeves with diameters greater than 100 mm, in compliance with ISO 2421.
The standard covers various clamping systems, including lamellar cores and pneumatic systems, frequently found on fixed grinding machines. ISO 15637-2:2002 ensures consistent quality and compatibility of holding fixtures used to secure abrasive sleeves, enhancing safety, performance, and interchangeability in grinding operations.
Key Topics
Applications
ISO 15637-2:2002 is primarily used in industries where stationary grinding machines play a critical role, such as:
- Metalworking and manufacturing: Ensuring grinding precision and safety during finishing and shaping metal components.
- Tool and die making: Holding abrasive sleeves for high-precision grinding of tools.
- Automotive and aerospace: Supporting durable and safe grinding operations on parts with demanding specifications.
- Industrial maintenance: Replacement and standardization of holding fixtures on large grinding machines.
The standard benefits machine manufacturers, abrasive sleeve producers, and end-users by providing:
- Compatibility and interchangeability of holding fixtures and abrasive sleeves.
- Enhanced machine uptime through reliable clamping systems.
- Consistent quality control aligned with international best practices.
Related Standards
- ISO 2421: Specifies the requirements for cylindrical abrasive sleeves themselves, which ISO 15637-2 references for compatibility.
- ISO 15637-1: Covers holding fixtures for portable grinders, complementing part 2 which focuses on stationary machines.
- ISO/IEC Directives Part 3: Governs the framework and rules for writing ISO standards, ensuring consistency and quality.
- ISO/TC 29 (Abrasives): The technical committee responsible for the development and maintenance of abrasive-related standards, including holding fixtures.
