摘要:
A circular or non-circular workpiece is ground in a plurality of grinding steps, including a final finish grinding step. A grinding wheel is caused to effect profile generation movement in synchronism with rotation of the workpiece and in accordance with profile data derived from the target shape of the workpiece. In each grinding step, the grinding wheel is advanced in such a manner that the grinding wheel causes cut-in movement within a predetermined cut-in angle defined on the workpiece. After completion of the final finish grinding step, the grinding wheel is retracted over a predetermined back-off angle defined on the workpiece. The retraction is effected in accordance with composite data obtained through combining the profile data and back-off data. The back-off angle is greater than the cut-in angle employed during the final finish grinding step.

A cooling apparatus includes a lubricating fluid tank, a lubricating fluid nozzle, a lubricating fluid regulating device, a cooling fluid tank, a cooling fluid nozzle and a cooling fluid regulating device. The cooling fluid nozzle supplies cooling fluid to the workpiece to enhance cooling effect of the cooling fluid. The lubricating fluid nozzle feeds lubricating fluid to the machining zone to prevent frictional heat generated in the machining zone from raising temperature of the workpiece. Since an appropriate amount of the lubricating fluid within the range helps the cooling effect of the cooling fluid, a quantity of the cooling fluid is reduced within the minimum range of the cooling fluid. A consumption of the lubricating fluid is much smaller than that of the cooling fluid. Therefore, a total amount of the fluids is extremely reduced.

A grinding wheel comprising abrasive grains, a bonding material for bonding the abrasive grains, and grain clusters of accumulated filler grains having a size smaller than the abrasive grains. The grinding wheel may be a vitrified grinding wheel, and in this case, chromium oxide having good affinity with the vitrified bonding material may be used as the filler grains.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for grinding a cylindrical surface of a workpiece by a traverse movement of a grinding wheel having a relatively narrow grinding surface. To improve the cylindricity of cylindrical surface, the traverse grinding is divided into a rough traverse grinding and a finish traverse grinding. In the rough traverse grinding, a traverse girding is carried out with a large depth of cut which would causes a deterioration of the cylindricity at one end of the cylindrical surface. In the finish traverse grinding, a traverse girding is carried out with a small depth of cut to improve the cylindricity. In another embodiment, one of grinding conditions such as the traverse speed of the grinding wheel, the rotational speed of the workpiece and the peripheral speed of the grinding wheel is changed when the grinding wheel approaches an end of the cylindrical surface at which the traverse grinding ends so as to make the grinding force constant, thereby improving the cylindricity of the cylindrical surface. In other embodiments, the position of the wheel head is compensated based upon the measured diameter of the cylindrical surface so that the entire area of the cylindrical surface has a desired diameter. This compensation also improves the cylindricity of the cylindrical surface.
