Abstract
A grinding method for the major flank face of error-free spur slice cutter is proposed according to urgent demand for the slice cutter in practical production. The geometrical characteristic of the major flank face is analyzed based on the surface Gaussian curvature. On this basis, the grinding motion model based on B-type CNC five-axis tool grinding machine is built. The grinding point path planning method according to the accuracy requirement of the major flank face is proposed. The interference checking and avoiding method is also found. The major flank face of a slice cutter is grinded based on the above study result. As a result, the machining error of the major flank face is less than 0.01 mm and the surface roughness is Ra0.3. This result meets the accuracy requirement that the machining error and surface roughness of the major flank face need to be respectively less than 0.01 mm and Ra0.4. The machining example shows that the study result in this paper is valid for the major flank face grinding. This paper provides a technical support for the manufacturing of error-free spur slice cutter.
