This paper describes the structure, content and relations employed in the development of an intelligent grinding database. The intelligent database has been constructed in MS Access with Visual Basic support code. The database was developed as an integral feature of an intelligent grinding assistant (IGA  ). The IGA  has been implemented and evaluated on a cooperating partners CNC machine tool.

The electric thickness of the semi-finished radome may not meet the requirement for the electromagnetic performance because it varies with both the geometry thickness and the electric inductivity of the radome. One way to obtain the required value of the electric thickness is to compensate the electric thickness error by modifying the wall thickness of the radome. To this end, a grinding machin...

To facilitate the manufacturing of a ball-end mill, this paper presents an algorithm for ball-end mills gashing by using a five-axis computer numerical control (CNC) grinding machine. In this study, the normal helix models are proposed. Then, based on the cutting edge geometric model and the machining mode of the five-axis computer numerical control (CNC) grinding machine, the coordinate of the...

An environmentally benign, fast and convenient protocol has been developed for the Michael addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to β-nitroalkenes in good to excellent yields by a grinding method under catalyst- and solvent-free conditions.

The surface of zirconia may be damaged during grinding, influencing the mechanical properties of the material. The purpose of this study was to compare the flexural strength of zirconia after different grinding procedures. Twenty bar-type zirconia specimens (21 x 5 x 2 mm) were divided into 4 groups and ground using a high-speed handpiece or a low-speed straight handpiece until the bars were re...

In the simulation of the NC-shape grinding process, a finite element model of the grinding machine is included. To enhance the accuracy and efficiency of the finite element computation, a posteriori error estimation and resulting adaptive mesh refinement techniques are used. In this note, a dual weighted a posteriori error estimate for a linear second order hyperbolic model problem is derived. ...
