Online Wear Evaluation of Grinding Wheel in Machining WC-Co Coating

Abstract

This paper presented a new technique, which was the online wear evaluation of wheel in grinding WC-Co coating by using wavelet packet decomposition. Based on the measurement method, theory of online wear evaluation of wheel was introduced. The selection principle of characteristic signals was brought up, and the grinding acceleration signal was the best choice among many characteristic signals. The time domain signal analysis method of wavelet packet decomposition was analyzed. Lastly, experiments on the wear of wheel were performed, and experimental results showed the validity of the method.
