...Guoxu Yin; Ioan D. Marinescu In the grinding process, high temperature in grinding area is generated by the frictional resistance between workpiece and abrasive grains on the grinding wheel cylindrical surface. Grinding fluid application is an optimal option to reduce the thermal effect and crack...

...Danni Wang; Frank E. Peters; Matthew C. Frank This paper presents a semi-automated grinding system for the postprocessing of metalcastings. Grinding is an important procedure in the “cleaning room” of a foundry, where the removal of gate contacts, parting line flash, surface defects, and weld...

...Kory Chang; Masakazu Soshi Sliding guideways are often used as the foundation for linear motion in computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools due to their high damping capabilities especially for heavy duty machining applications. However, the traditional manufacturing process with grinding...

... they are not used to machine flutes. Moreover, grinding wheels are gradually worn out in use, and the flutes lose accuracy accordingly. Therefore, locations and orientations of the worn wheels should be recalculated or compensated in machining; however, no such technique is currently available. To address...
