AN ADAPTIVE-CONTROL SYSTEM FOR THE GRINDING PROCESS

A new adaptive-control system has been successful in the external, cylindrical cross-grinding process in terms of raising the material removal rate and improving the geometrical accuracy of slender shafts. In comparison with the conventional method in the cross-grinding process, this method of adaptive-control grinding is superior in respect of the material removal rate and the roundness of the slender shafts. The preceding beneficial effects are independent of the grinding parameters chosen. It is practicable, therefore, for the adaptive control system to be applied in practical production.
