Current production and construction, medium and small batch production of parts increasing the proportion of total product, part of the complexity and precision requirements followed rapidly. Competition from the early manufacturing to reduce labor costs, product costs, improve overall efficiency and quality of enterprise competition, developed to fully meet customer requirements, and actively develop new products competition. The face of knowledge - technology - product update cycle is shorter and shorter, smaller and smaller volume products, while the quality, performance requirements are higher, while the community on environmental protection and awareness of green manufacturing continued to strengthen. Therefore, advanced manufacturing technology Agile will become the company won the competition and survival, the primary means of development. A long period of time, the accuracy of detection depends machinery manufacturing experience to master the operator can not guarantee the accuracy of the stability, the dresser had, and are more and more used in CNC machine tools on the. In this paper, the following aspects comprehensive study on the Dresser: 1. Trimmer at home and abroad the status of research development and application. 2. On the grinding machine, grinding machine working principle and classification, use and movement of work detail. 3. The principle of the dresser, and a simple analysis of the schematic presentation of the three categories introduced dresser and three dresser which machines were used, what were the advantages and disadvantages, and their interaction. 4. Describes the structure and composition dresser parts and all parts of the dresser in the role of each part of the materials used, material selection and the material advantages and disadvantages and interactions.
