information about grinding precedure
I need some helpfull informations about general grinding precedures. any tip will be helpfull for me .
Regarding CENTERLESS GRINDING, You would still need to be more
specific in your question. The best General Guide was a manual put out
by Cincinnati Milacron 30+ years ago, called Principles of Centerless
grinding. I believe that Krar and Oswald included most of the key
points in their 1974 publication : "Grinding Technology".
What
are you wanting to grind? Condition of part coming to the
grinder? What do you want to achieve? How do you intend to inspect
it? Roundness? Straightness? Cylindricity? Surface Finish?
Tolerances? Production Rates?
What Statistical Qualification
criteria do you intend to apply? Six Sigma = 80% of tolerance?
75%? 67%? And then there are the discussions about roundness which is
actually only a 3 sigma concern since it can't be too round.
Form
Grinding? Bar
Grinding? Thru-feed? Infeed? End-Feed? Camfeed-Grinding? Other? Shoe-Type
Centerless? (Milacron referred to this as Micro-Centric.)
What are you going to do to the parts after Centerless Grinding? Lap Grind? Lapping? SuperFinisher such as Supfina?
Steel Industry: Long Bars?
Bearing Industry: Rollers? Races? Thrufeeding Tapered Rollers?
Automotive: Input & Output Shafts? Torsion bars? Steering shafts? Piston Pins? Valve Stems? U-Joint Crosses?
Bowling Balls? Billiard Balls?
Fuel Injector Needles? Guitar Strings? Fishing Rods?
Medical industry: Hypodermic Needles? Bone Screws?
Structural Ceramics?
Air Conditioner Compressor Shafts?
Shafts for Tape Players or cassettes? Copiers? Cameras?
Cutting Tools? Twist Drills? EndMills? Punches?
Hydraulic Parts? Etc., etc. etc/Forged Steel Valves.
Probably
the most important thing is that Centerless Grinding Machines are high
production beasts. They can produce a lot of parts very quickly. They
are frequently best used as a GAGE. i.e. Grind at a slower rate but
achieve 100% duplicate parts so as to eliminate the need for inspection
or for such things as parts segregators or "Select fit" assembly.
