3277 Improvement of accuracy in internal grinding with shape modification on high aspect ratio wheel

Abstract

In an internal grinding, the stiffness of wheel spindle is not so high because of its small diameter. So the elastic deformation of wheel spindle becomes large. In this reason, the dimensional accuracy of workpiece worsens in internal grinding with a high aspect-ratio. To solve this problem, in this study, the shape of the grinding wheel is modified by the single crystal diamond tool. A grinding test with the formed wheel is carried out and the shape of the workpiece is measured. It is conformed that the shape error of the workpiece ground with the formed wheel is significantly improved.
