Peripheral longitudinal grinding with axial ultrasonic assistance is characterized by a periodically changing working direction with continuous cutting edge engagement. The newly created workpiece surfaces have sinusoidal machining marks [Warnecke and Zapp 1995]. Through the superposition of the conventional grinding process with ultrasonic oscillation, there is an additionally arising and constantly changing velocity that is […]

GEOMETRICAL INTERFERENCE BETWEEN GRINDING WHEEL AND WORKPIECE
The waves generated on the workpiece as well as on the grinding wheel surfaces are the envelope of the relative vibration between them. To start with, the waves generated on the workpiece surface will be considered. In this case, the waves are the envelope of the periphery of the grinding wheel. As far as the […]
ASSESSMENT OF WHEEL WEAR
8.4.3 Microtopography The current microtopography of the grinding tool can be judged directly by measurement or reproduction, or indirectly by analyzing the process effects or the work result. The best-known methods for a direct judgment of the grinding wheel topography are the measurement of the tool surface by gauging, for example, by laser triangulation or […]
11.2.2 Force Sensors
The first attempts to measure grinding forces go back to the early 1950s and were based on strain gauges. Although the system performed well to achieve substantial data on grinding, the most important disadvantage of this approach was the significant reduction of the total stiffness during grinding. Thus research was done to develop alternative systems. […]
COST COMPARISON INCLUDING TOOLING
12.4.1 Introduction With better understanding of new technologies such as this, it is often possible to push productivity considerably further. The example described before, based on grinder technology that is now 15 years old, had a cycle time of about 6 min limited by burn. On the latest grinders with much more sophisticated CNC controls, […]
Types of Diamond Wheel
Basically, a grinding wheel has three components: abrasive, bond, and core. Figure 14.2 presents the three components of a superabrasive diamond or CBN wheel [Inasaki 1998]. In general application, diamond wheels can be resin, metal, or vitrified bond. Wheels can be classified according to the bond material as either [Marinescu et al. 2001] monolayer-electroplated wheels […]
Self-Compensating Hydrostatic Slideways
In addition to the shear damping base design, Slocum [1992] and Weldon [Hallum 1994] developed a self-compensating hydrostatic bearing design for use on their Model 1632 cylindrical grinder (Figure 15.16). A gear pump (1) provides vibration-free fluid delivery to the self-compensating pads (2). The fluid enters the pad through ports at the edge of each […]
Hydraulic Drives
Hydraulic drives generally use gerotor pump technology to provide a compact high-power/high- torque motor that has made this style of dresser drive the mainstay of form-roll dressing applications for conventional wheels for the last 30 years. Hydraulic spindles suffer from serious thermal problems as they get hot after only a few minutes, although this can […]
BASICS OF CREEP GRINDING
16.3.1 Introduction By means of creep feed grinding, or creep grinding as it is more concisely termed, considerable material-removal rates were achieved with high surface qualities for the first time in the early 1950s. In order to harness the potentials of this grinding process, machines, grinding tools, and grinding technologies were developed [Uhlmann 1994a]. DIN […]
Part Holding: Encapsulation or Hard Point Mounting
Many aerospace components are complex but relatively weak structurally or have reference surfaces that can easily distort. Traditionally, these parts are held by encapsulating them in a low melting alloy. This provides a solid robust structure with clearly defined and rigid location surfaces. However, the mounting and dismounting processes are expensive and add no processing […]
