Abstract
In superfinishing, it is difficult to monitor the transitions of machining state during machining process. Therefore, to optimize the machining conditions, it takes a lot of time because many workpieces are machined as a trial. To solve this problem, it is necessary to monitor the transition of the machining state during process. In this study, an advanced in-process monitoring method of machining state in superfinishing is developed. We confirm that the transition of machining state can be monitored by calculating the machining force ratio during machining process experimentally.
