Abstract:
A method for metering a fluid polishing agents' when applied to the periphery of at least one polishing wheel having a polishing shaft by means of a controlled nozzle head having a polish chamber, a nozzle and a valve body and having open and close times, the fluid polishing agent being fed to said polish chamber from an external reservoir, comprisinga. feeding the fluid polishing agent to the nozzle by an output pressure of an external high-pressure pump; b. moving the nozzle head at a travel speed transversely across a periphery of the at least one polishing wheel and parallel to said polishing shaft; and c. controlling the valve body within said nozzle head independently of said output pressure by at least one external time and travel signal for a prescribed path parallel to said polishing shaft depending on a position of the said at least one polishing wheel and on a movement of the nozzle head with the valve body such that the fluid polishing agent is concentrated at least substantially on said periphery of said at least one polishing wheel.
