Abrasive belt grinding is a form of grinding with coated abrasives (commonly known as sandpaper, abrasive cloth). As early as 1760, the first sandpaper appeared in the world, but it was limited to manual operation at that time. It was not until 1900 to 1910 that it entered the era of mechanical use of sandpaper and abrasive cloth, and it was first used in the wood industry in the form of an endless belt. After 1930, abrasive belt grinding gradually developed to metal processing. During World War II, the United States took the lead in using abrasive belt grinding in weapon manufacturing, and achieved obvious results. In the early 1950s, the emergence of the electrostatic sand planting method pushed the abrasive belt grinding to a new stage, and the application of abrasive belt grinding became more and more popular. Later, Europe and Japan also successively carried out research and application of abrasive belt grinding technology, and abrasive belt grinding technology gradually developed into an independent processing technology field with complete categories and relatively complete technical system.
