シミュレーションによる研削作業標準設定システムの開発

抄録

A very practical simulation system for the establishment of grinding operation standards has been developed in which many practical parameters in actual grinding operations are considered. This computer system simulates such grinding phenomena as dressing, chip geometry, active grains behaviors, wheel surface conditions, wheel wear, grinding force and power, surface roughness, temperature and burning of workpiece, loading on wheel surface, and spark-out grinding. The system can display the simulation results as a graph including both the time-dependent results and the effects of various parameters, having the same effects as many grinding experiments. It is also capable of selecting the optimum grinding wheels and conditions for the grinding operation under the given constraints by exchanging automatically the combinations of the operation parameters and their values. Thus, with the aid of the system, grinding operation standards are able to be established.
