ULTRASONIC-ASSISTED GRINDING WITH WORKPIECE EXCITATION

According to the process variant, a supersonic oscillation is superimposed in the contact zone either vertical or parallel to the workpiece surface in addition to the conventional cutting movement. This change in the speed ratios and in the resultant cutting speed leads to functional and wear mecha­nisms, which are basically different from those of conventional […]

BOND WEAR

8.4.1 Introduction Not only the abrasive grain, but also the grinding wheel bond is increasingly subject to wear. The reason is abrasion by ground material particles, which have an abrasive effect on the binding material. With increasing wear, the bond is set back. In the case of long-chipping materials, this bond damage may occur at […]

SENSORS FOR MONITORING PROCESS VARIABLES. Introduction

As with all manufacturing processes, ideally, the variables of greatest interest are measured directly as close to their origin as possible. Grinding processes are affected by a large number of input variables that each influence the resulting output quantities. Brinksmeier [1991] proposed a sys­tematic approach to distinguish between different types of quantities to describe a […]

A COST COMPARISON INCLUDING CAPITAL INVESTMENT

12.3.1 Introduction Total in-process costs may be only half the analysis. For new processes, consideration needs to be given to balance capital equipment costs against operating costs. 12.3.2 Automotive Camlobe Grinding Example An example of this was the introduction in the late 1980s of CBN to grinding camshafts. After the initial installation, which was instigated […]

Diaphragm-Controlled Hydrostatic Slideways

A simple double diaphragm valve design was developed by Rowe [1969, 1970] for hydrostatic slideways and for hydrostatic journal bearings. Designs of this type have been successfully imple­mented in various machine tools and give very high bearing stiffness. FIGURE 15.15 Bryant UL2 hydrostatic round slideway designs. The pressures at the individual pads can nowadays be […]
