ULTRASONIC-ASSISTED GRINDING WITH EXCITATION OF THE WHEEL

Ultrasonic-assisted grinding with an oscillating wheel is divided into different process modifications. In the case of ultrasonic-assisted cross-peripheral grinding, the feed movement takes place vertically to the tool spindle axis and thus to the generated oscillation. With this process, grooves, gaps, and radii can be machined in brittle-hard materials. The feed movement in the case […]

VIBRATION BEHAVIOR OF VARIOUS GRINDING OPERATIONS

The vibration behavior in cylindrical, internal, and surface grinding processes differ in significant ways [Inasaki 1977a]. In the case of internal and surface grinding, the chatter frequency is, in most cases, related to the natural frequency of the grinding wheel spindle system because the Amplitude ratio ycr/y   FIGURE 8.4 Geometrical interference.   dynamic stiffness […]

Coolants

10.1 INTRODUCTION Coolant is a term generally used to describe grinding fluids used for cooling and lubrication in grinding. The main purpose of a grinding fluid is to minimize mechanical, thermal, and chemical impact between the active partners of the abrasion process. The lubricating effect of a grinding fluid reduces friction between the abrasive grains […]

RECIRCULATING ROLLING ELEMENT SLIDEWAYS

Slideways employing recirculating rolling elements were the salvation of the machining center man­ufacturers as a means of reducing manufacturing costs while increasing speed for high-precision circular interpolation with CNC controls. They also virtually eliminated stick-slip (u = 0.001 to 0.003) and accompanying loss of motion, without the need for expensive hydrostatic way designs. They were […]

High-Efficiency Deep Grinding

High-performance deep grinding, with increased wheel peripheral speed and increased feedrate, is a special case requiring a cooling lubricant supply system adapted in terms of pressure and volume flow capability [Rowe and Jin 2001]. Application limits for high-performance grinding result from wheel safety requirements, that is, the maximum admissible peripheral speeds for grinding wheels. These […]
