This paper presents a method of increasing the shape and dimensional accuracy of low-stiffness shafts manufactured in traverse grinding process. In order to achieve that, grinding force measurement was used. It allowed to calculate such a correction of a grinding wheel’s path, that allowed to decrease dimensional and shape errors of grinded workpieces.

In cylindrical traverse grinding of a long workpiece with high aspect ratio, the shape accuracy of a workpiece worsens due to its low stiffness. In this study, the grinding force was measured during grinding process to calculate the elastic deformation of a workpiece caused by the normal grinding force. By comparing calculated elastic deformation with the measured shape error of ground workpiece, the cause for the shape error in case of grinding a long workpiece was investigated experimentally. From experimental results, it is confirmed that the main factor of the shape error of the long workpiece is its elastic deformation during grinding process.

Abstract In the case of traverse grinding of a slender workpiece, the ground workpiece is easily deformed by the normal grinding force due to its low stiffness. To reduce the form error caused by the elastic deformation of the workpiece, a steady rest is widely used. Generally, a steady rest is set to push the ground area of the workpiece. However, the stepped shape error is generated at the contact point where a steady rest pushed the workpiece because the pushing force of a steady rest is decreased after the material of the contact point is removed. In this study, to reduce the stepped shape error of the ground workpiece, we proposed a new method to set a steady rest. In this method, the steady rest was set to push the area where was not ground. In addition, the traverse speed of the workpiece was adjusted to keep the elastic deformation of the workpiece constant. The suitable method to control the traverse speed was estimated by using a beam model that could simulate the elastic deformation of the workpiece during the grinding process. It was confirmed that the new method could improve the form accuracy of a slender workpiece through grinding experiments.

The grinding process has been investigated in the machining of titanium alloy with conventional grinding wheel and SG grinding wheel respectively. The machinability discussed here includes grinding force, surface roughness, dimensional accuracy, grinding ratio, grinding-wheel wear and grinding-wheel life. The SG grinding wheel is found to possess particularly good grinding properties and is more suitable for grinding titanium alloy when compared with conventional abrasive tools.

Grinding force is strongly related to grinding process, and the application of dynamometer for its measurement during machining is essential for investigating, monitoring and optimizing the grinding process. This paper presents an innovative dynamometer for triaxial grinding force measurement, specifically designed for an ultra-precision grinder. Two different kinds of spatial arrangements are discussed, including lozenge and square arrangement. The mathematical model is established and calculated. Furthermore, a series of static calibration tests have been conducted for the dynamometer, and static properties of the grinding area are also measured and analyzed. Eventually, on-line static tests of the dynamometer installed in silicon wafer grinder are performed. The results show that the grinding dynamometer has excellent properties, which reach the CIRP standards and meet the working requirements of the ultra-precision grinder.

Passive grinding is a new rail grinding strategy. In this work, the influence of grinding pressure on the removal behaviors of rail material in passive grinding was investigated by using a self-designed passive grinding simulator. Meanwhile, the surface morphology of the rail and grinding wheel were observed, and the grinding force and temperature were measured during the experiment. Results show that the increase of grinding pressure leads to the rise of rail removal rate, i.e., grinding efficiency, surface roughness, residual stress, grinding force and grinding temperature. Inversely, the enhancement of grinding pressure and grinding force will reduce the grinding ratio, which indicates that service life of grinding wheel decreases. The debris presents dissimilar morphology under different grinding pressure, which reflects the distinction in grinding process. Therefore, for rail passive grinding, the appropriate grinding pressure should be selected to balance the grinding quality and the use of grinding wheel.

In the low-speed grinding process, the force generated when the wheel grinding the workpiece is the result of sliding friction, plough and cutting. While in the actual study, the cutting process has attracted extensive attention. Impact effect to the entire grinding process on the contact is ignored so that the error exists between the calculation grinding force and the measured grinding force. Basing on the shock effect to the grinding process, the paper divides the contact area into impact area and cutting area. And the model of impact load generated from single grit is built. Moreover, the grinding force theoretical calculation model and total grinding force mathematical model is also constructed by analyzing the impact load affecting on the grinding force mechanism. Finally experimental study verifies the correctness of theoretical analysis.

Abstract The CNC multi-axis bending process can achieve high productivity and flexibility over conventional forming processes for fabricating long slender structural components of arbitrary shape. However, generating a CNC program to produce an accurate part shape is currently a laborious procedure involving trial-and-error by the machine operator. A systematic method has been developed to replace the manual control method and increase the dimensional accuracy. The concept of an intrinsic representation from differential geometry is applied as a basis to represent the part shape and develop the process model. The feedback control is derived from two transfer functions that represent the bending and twisting processes. By applying shape errors to the inverse transfer functions, incremental control commands can be determined and used to improve the control performance. Experimental results have demonstrated that shape errors decrease on subsequent iterations.
