Abstract
Cycle optimization in cam-lobe grinding is presented for improving productivity. It includes novel modeling of the instantaneous geometry, kinematics and temperature for any workpiece form. A technical assessment of three process-control strategies – (1) constant specific material removal rate, (2) constant power, and (3) constant temperature – is made. The constant-temperature process provides the shortest cycle time without thermal damage. A detailed analysis of this process considers the role of machine limitations, including maximum speed, acceleration, and jerk, as well as the cam-lobe geometrical effects. The optimization results are validated by grinding tests in an actual production line.
