Optimizing the Grinding Parameters on the CNC Milling Machine for Best Glass Edge Quality

Abstract

Abstract The effects of different grinding parameters on the glass edge quality and bending strength were investigated, including wheel speed, feeding rate, wheel mesh and wheel shape. The results show that bending strength and Weibull modulus increase with the increasing of wheel speed and then decrease. The grinding feeding rate has a similar influence on the bending strength and Weibull modulus. There is an optimal matching relationship between glass strength and grinding wheel speed as well as feeding rate. The bending strength and Weibull modulus increase with the increasing of wheel mesh. Taper cup wheel is more suitable to obtain a more smoother glass edge and stronger glass.
