In order to develop a grinding tool for shape adaptive grinding, elastic grinding pins are used as an example to investigate the behaviour of those tools. In the following, we describe the results for test tubes machined with elastic grinding pins. Therefore, the surface profile of the test tubes is analysed for different parameter sets. The varied parameters are the size of the grinding particles and the stiffness of the base material. The interdependencies between the parameters are as expected: larger particles and stiffer material lead to a rougher surface. This is the case for both acrylic glass and steel tubes. However, irregularities in the uniformity of the specimens surface indicate that the manufacturing process has still to be improved at different points.
