Detecting Chattering

Chattering represents one of the main causes of quality problems in grinding, be­cause the dimension and shape accuracy as well as the surface quality are influ­enced negatively [BAUS03, KARP01]. Chattering can be traced back to self­excitation. In the grinding process, the main causes of forced vibrations are primarily im­balance and grinding wheel eccentricity. Further possible […]

Input Variables

The input variables of the honing process can be divided into system quantities and variables (Fig. 7-7). Fig. 7-7. Process variables and result of the honing process The following system quantities represent most frequently fixed process vari­ables: • the machine, with its performance data, material rigidity and dynamic behav­iour, • the workpiece, with its properties, […]

Double-Disc Coplanar Lapping

Different from lapping with one disc is the double-sided, simultaneous machining of two opposing planar surfaces (Fig. 8-6). In this method, the workpieces are in­serted in geared carriers (rotating discs). These are held by pin rings or gear rings. Then they are driven, they rotate about both their own axis and the central axis. The […]

Free Abrasive Grinding

9.1.2 Operating Principle Defined generally, free abrasive grinding is a cutting process in which free abra­sive parts — so called chips — remove material from the workpiece surface. It is not an improvement in form and dimension which is in the foreground in this case, but rather the elimination of surface faults and the establishment […]

Internal Cylindrical Grinding

As in the case of external cylindrical grinding, internal cylindrical grinding is also classified as • internal cylindrical peripheral crosswise grinding (plunge grinding) or • internal cylindrical peripheral longitudinal grinding (longitudinal grinding). The kinematics of internal cylindrical grinding is identical to that of the exter­nal cylindrical grinding methods between centres already described. The equations derived […]

Contact Pressure

A variation of the contact pressure pn does not always have an obvious influence on the process parameters and the work result. The tool’s specifications and asso­ciated wear characteristics often constitute parameters for influencing pn. In prac­tice, however, effects arising from the contact pressure can be cited for the major­ity of honing processes. Whereas in […]

Other Lapping Methods

The principle of peripheral external cylindrical lapping is illustrated in Fig. 8-4c. A slit in the tool enables the widening and narrowing of this sleeve-shaped tool design. This allows the intended working pressure and the desired dimensions to be adjusted. In order to improve the shape in terms of cylindricity and roundness, a rotational and […]
