Abstract: The processes of grinding with tools on a flexible basis are becoming more widespread every year in the processing of various materials. This is primarily due to the availability and ease of use of such tools, as well as the ability to achieve good quality surfaces. At the same time, processing with flexible abrasive tools has great potential for further improvement, thereby determining the relevance of research in the field of expanding the operational capabilities of tools, selecting rational operating modes, improving design, etc. The petal wheels, skins and sanding belts produced by the industry largely do not meet the expectations of consumers, which is due to the poor quality of their manufacture, low cutting capacity, high wear, which ultimately leads to an increase in processing costs and unreasonably high tool consumption. In addition to the design features of the tools, the grinding process is influenced by a large number of factors unrelated to the technology of their manufacture. The purpose of the study is to analyze and generalize existing approaches to improving the efficiency of the abrasive processing process with tools on a flexible basis. The article discusses approaches to improving tool designs on a flexible basis, including the issues of their design and manufacture based on the use of abrasive grains with a controlled shape and orientation. Data on the influence of the shape and orientation of grains on the cutting ability of grinding belts are presented. The ways of expanding the technological possibilities of the processing process with tools on a flexible basis are disclosed. It is noted that an integrated approach to the selection of rational technological parameters of processing, as well as constructive indicators of tools, ensures an increase in the efficiency of the grinding process.
