Abstract. A Fuzzy-PID controller is designed for tracing reference cutting forces in grinding by integrating a high performance fuzzy controller and an easy to use PID controller. When the error of the grinding force is large, in order to respond quickly, the fuzzy controller with a self-tuning factor is adopted and the Max-Proc strategy is also used. This will be good for fuzzy reasoning. If t...

In this work, machining test was carried out in various machining conditions using ultrasonic vibration capable CNC machine. For work material, alumina ceramic (Al2O3) was used while for tool material diamond electroplated grinding wheel was used. To evaluate ultrasonic vibration effect, grinding test was performed with and without ultrasonic vibration in same machining condition. In ultrasonic...

Nowadays, the demand for high product quality focuses extensive attention to the quality of machined surface. The (CNC) milling machine facilities provides a wide variety of parameters set-up, making the machining process on the glass excellent in manufacturing complicated special products compared to other machining processes. However, the application of grinding process on the CNC milling mac...

This paper describes an ultra precision polishing method of aspherical mirrors, and the fundamental research on polishing characteristics. The aspherical mirrors with a diameter of about 30mm made by fused silica glass and CVD-SiC were ELID (electrolytic in-process dressing)-ground to high form accuracy with #4000 cast iron bonded diamond wheel, and then polished with a small polishing tool. As...

Grinding is an advanced machining process for the manufacturing of valuable complex and accurate parts for high added value sectors such as aerospace, wind generation, etc. Due to the extremely severe conditions inside grinding machines, critical process variables such as part surface finish or grinding wheel wear cannot be easily and cheaply measured on-line. In this paper a virtual sensor for...

PURPOSE This study was to evaluate the effect of grinding of the inner metal surface during the porcelain try-in stage on metal-porcelain bonding considering the maximum temperature and the vibration of samples. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-one square prism-shaped (1 × 1 × 1.5 mm) nickel-chrome cast frameworks 0.3 mm thick were prepared. Porcelain was applied on two opposite outer axial surfa...

− The paper presents some new measurements and instrumentation paying a special attention to the thermal behaviour of modern manufacturing systems. Acording to a CIRP evaluation, more than 50% of the machining errors, even in the case of modern machine tools, are due to the thermal phenomena. The study of thermal behaviour for machine tools is very important for precision processing, e.g. grind...
