The purpose of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of dimensional accuracy in contact-wheel surface belt grinding, and furthermore find out some effective techniques to achieve better sizing accuracy. The results obtained here are summarized as follows.
(1) The general characteristics on residual stock removal and dimensional accuracy, the latter is closely related to the former, can be understood by a model proposed here. The model is constructed basically depending on the elastic characteristics of the tool and its backup supports.
(2) Amount of residual stock removal Δ
Y is quite large and moreover the ratio of residual stock removal λ
R (=amount of residual stock removal/nominal depth of cut) is considered to be a function of grinding width as well as nominal depth of cut. The characteristics of Δ
Y and λ
R are the most important ones among the causes which deteriorate the dimensional accuracy.
(3) It is confirmed theoretically as well as experimentary that an adaptive control grinding proposed here, where work speed is changed so as to keep normal grinding force nearly constant, is considerably effective for improving the dimensional accuracy.
