Abstract
Abstract A method and apparatus for the centreless polishing of a workpiece is provided. Two cylindrical rolls are positioned with respect to each other such that their axes are not parallel and the axis of the workpiece is above the plane of the axes of the rolls. A guide is provided to support the workpiece. At least one of the rolls includes at least one electromagnet formed by a coil and a pair of disks. A guide ring is positioned around the coil in the space between the disks. A ferromagnetic powder is held on the disks which form the poles of the electromagnet and this powder is the abrasive which polishes the workpiece as the rolls rotate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
An apparatus for the centreless polishing of a workpiece said apparatus comprising two cylindrical roll means and a guide means for supporting said workpiece wherein said roll means are positioned with respect to each other such that their axes are not parallel and the axis of said workpiece is above the plane formed by the axes of said roll means, and wherein at least one of said roll means comprises at least one electromagnetic means, at least two guide rings with a working gap therebetween and a ferromagnetic powder in said working gap said ferromagnetic powder being held therein by said electromagnetic means.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
103 words
An apparatus for the centreless polishing of a workpiece said apparatus comprising two cylindrical roll means and a guide means for supporting said workpiece wherein said roll means are positioned with respect to each other such that their axes are not parallel and the axis of said workpiece is above the plane formed by the axes of said roll means, and wherein at least one of said roll means comprises at least one electromagnetic means, at least two guide rings with a working gap therebetween and a ferromagnetic powder in said working gap said ferromagnetic powder being held therein by said electromagnetic means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
