スマート超砥粒ホイールを利用した研削加工のホイール負荷のテレメトリーモニタリングと工具工作物間インプロセス速度制御加工について

Abstract

Grinding is mostly utilized as finishing process in production. Thus, it is required to maintain performance of grinding wheel for preventing grinding failures such as grinding burn, loading, chatter marks, and so on. Although regular dress-interval for grinding wheel is adopted in practice, if degradation of grinding performance can be detected in process, not only the best dress interval can be determined, but also no-failure grinding can be realized. Therefore, in this study, super abrasive wheel with new disk design is made smart by means of attaching sensors on disk of wheel to monitor load of grinding wheel. Also, in order to realize in-process grinding control, tool-work-velocity-controlsystem which is consist of microcomputer and original electro board has been developed. This system can control grain depth of cut by means of controlling relative velocity between grinding tool and workpiece. Utilizing the smart super abrasive wheel and the tool-work-velocity-control-system, cylindrical grinding experiment is executed. As the result, the combination of those developed items shows availability that they can provide continue of grinding process without any failure even if sharpness of grinding tool is degraded.
