Gear grinding system adapting to higher CNC grinder throughput

Abstract

The paper is devoted to a solving an important scientific and technical problem of increasing the productivity of defect-free profile gear grinding on CNC machines on the basis of development of on-machine intelligent subsystems for the grinding operation designing, monitoring, and diagnosing which allow grinding system elements adapting to a higher productivity of the CNC grinder. The characteristic of the adaptation principle in manufacturing systems on CNC machines is given in accordance with both the systems and control theories. The productivity resources based on the use of the adaptation principle are studied and identified as well as a methodology is developed for researching the grinding system using scientific methods of modeling, optimization and control. Besides, corresponding technological preconditions are given in the form of a set of purposeful methods and means of innovative profile grinding technology, including grinding stock on-machine measurement and transformation the stock uncertainty into the grinding wheel displacement from the gear to be grinded.
