In this paper, grinding characteristics of ultra high speed cylindrical plunge grinding was investigated by use of vitrified CBN wheel. From the experimental result, it was convinced that grinding power is decreased according to the increase of wheel and workpiece speed due to changing of grinding mechanism which decreases depth of cut and length of contact curve according to increment of wheel speed. And also, stock removal reduction of each gram lead to improvement of surface roughness by increasing the wheel speed.

In this paper, a theoretical analysis is presented on the mechanics of the grinding by hemispheric type electroplated CBN wheel. The grinding forces acting on a single grain were calculated from its geometry by assuming the abrasive grain is spherical. Then. the total grinding forces were obtained by estimating the number of acting abrasive grains and the area of contact. The model includes the grinding variables such as wheel speed. feed speed. depth of cut, and grinding wheel positions. Experiments were also carried out to compare with the analytical results. The experimental results were found to be in good agreement with the analytical ones.

To reduce two preprocess operations to one in the surface grinding operation the laminated grinding wheel was introduced and its availability has already been investigated in the cylindrical grinding process. Thus in this study the experiment was carried out to attempt to prove that the laminated grinding wheel can be used in the surface grinding process with respect to the roughness and grinding force.

In this study, experiments were carried out to investigate the characteristics of grinding and wear process of diamond wheel grinding ceramic materials. Normal component of grinding resistance was decreasing while increase of spindle speed. The resistance of vitrified bond wheel was less then that of resinoid bond wheel because of imbedded large holes on the surface of cutting edge. Surface roughness was decreasing while increase of spindle speed. The surface roughness after using vitrified bond wheel was less than that of resinoid bond wheel because of small elastic deformation. After continuous grinding of ceramics, cutting edge ratio of resinoid bond wheel decreases. For the case of vitrified bond wheel, cutting edge ratio does not change.

In general, grinding is one of the final machining processes which determines the surface quality of machined products. Since the ground surface is affected by the states of grains and voids on the grinding wheel surface, the wheel should be dressed before the machined surface deteriorates over a quality limit This paper describes a systematic approach to decide a proper dressing chance and an optimal dressing depth for the working grinding wheel. An eddy current sensor and a laser displacement sensor are used to measure the loading on the working wheel surface and the topography of the dressed wheel surface respec- tively. The dressing chance can be properly decided through the relational locus between the amount of handing and the machined surface roughness. An optimal dressing depth to guarantee the less wheel loss and the higher wheel surface quality is decided through the analysis of the variance of topography for the dressed wheel surface, which decreases at three different rates according to the accumulated dressing depth.

This paper aims to clarify the effects of grinding conditions on bending strength in surface grinding of various ferrites with the resin bond diamond wheel. The main conclusions obtained were as follows. At a constant material removal rate, the strength improves with increased wheel depth of cut and decreased workpiece speed. It is desirable to grind at higher peripheral wheel speed and under the critical workpiece speed presented in this paper. Grinding the ferrite of higher brittleness, the wheel depth of cut limited to hold 50% of their inherent strength becomes lower. The effect of various grinding conditions on bending strength becomes more larger in the order of Sr, Mn-Zn and Cu-Ni-Zn. When using the diamond grain of the lower toughness, the bending strength becomes higher, and the wheel wear occurs faster. Considering both bending strength and wheel wear rate, the best concentration of wheel is 100. The ground surfaces exhibit that the fracture process during grinding becomes more brittle in the order of Sr, Mn-Zn and Cu-Ni-Zn.

This paper deals with the precision grinding for aspherical surface of optical parts. A parallel grinding method using the spherical wheel was suggested as a new grinding method. In this method, the wheel axis is positioned at a $\pi$/4 from the Z-axis in the direction of the X-axis. An advantage of this grinding method is that the wheel used in grinding achieves its maximum area, reducing wheel wear and improving the accuracy of the ground mirror surface. In addition, a truing by the CG (curve generating) method was proposed. After truing, the shape of spherical wheel transcribed on the carbon is measured by the Form-Talysurf-120L. The error of the form in the spherical wheel which is the value ${\Delta}x$ and $R{^2}{_y}$ inferred from the measured profile data is compensated by the re-truing. Finally, in the aspherical grinding experiment, the WC of the molding die was examined by the parallel grinding method using the resin bonded diamond wheel with a grain size of ＃3000. A form accuracy of 0.16${\mu}m$ P-V and a surface roughness of 0.0067${\mu}m$ Ra have been resulted.

This paper described on the effect of residual stocks in internal grinding of tungsten carbide materials in order to improve the grinding efficiency as well as grinding accuracy. Through the fundamental investigation is carried out for tungsten carbide materials using electroplated diamond wheel, the residual stock after grinding process is effective to the grinding efficiency. The obtained results are as follows: (1) Under the depth of cut(t) is constant and decreasing the workpiece velocity(Vw), the residual stock after grinding is increased, but the difference is little less than the difference by table speed. (2) Increasing the wheel velocity, the residual stock after grinding is decreased. Therefore in order to minimize the residual stock, the wheel velocity should be increased as far as possible. (3) The surface roughness and out-of roundness increased with depth of cut and table speed, and decreased with wheel velocity, but it may as well adopt as much as possible under the dimensional tolerance which is required for high efficiency grinding. (4) In order to remove residual stock, the spark-out grinding shoule be done, and it also can be improved about 20~25% throughout spark-out grinding, and the number of optimal spark-out times were within 10 times.

High-precision centerless grinding machines are emerging as a means of finishing the outer diameter grinding process required for ferrules, which are widely used as fiber optic connectors. In this study, a structural characteristic analysis and evaluation were carried out using a virtual prototype of a centerless grinding machine to realize systematic design technology and performance improvements required to manufacture ferrules. The prototype consisted of a concrete-filled bed, hydrostatic grinding wheel (GW) and regulating wheel (RW) spindle systems, a hydrostatic RW feed mechanism, a RW swivel mechanism, and on-machine GW and RW dressers. The loop stiffness values of the centerless grinding machine were estimated based on the relative displacements between the GW and RW caused by grinding forces. The simulated results illustrated that a concrete-filled bed considerably improved the structural stiffness and accuracy of a high-precision centerless grinding machine.
