Achieving and Monitoring High-Rate Centreless Grinding

  • Chapter
Proceedings of the Twenty-First International Machine Tool Design and Research Conference

Summary

A commercial centreless grinding machine has been extensively modified to convert it to a heavy duty grinder capable of very high rates of metal removal. The several aspects of the development necessary to achieve this are described, including instrumentation of the developed machine enabling grinding parameters to be monitored during grinding trials. The design of grinding experiments for investigating the high-rate grinding machine is discussed and an appropriate comprehensive data sheet is recommended. The results of some typical high-rate grinding trials are presented. The implications of this work for the future development of centreless grinding as a first machining process are discussed.
