Creep-feed grinding: A modern variant of the plane surface grinding process
Abstract
Creep feed and conventional grinding are compared. Specifications for an automated combined plane surface - creep feed grinder are presented. It must be possible to preprogram two different grinding cycles with an intervening dressing cycles. The automatic grinder must be equipped with a rigid feed system for the two-stage process, which can provide a steplessly controlled, stick-slip - free workpiece speed over the range 0.01 to 30 m/min. Spindle drive and spindle bearings are to be adapted to the increased demands placed on the machine system by the plungecut grinding technique. An efficient coolant system must be available to provide high pressures and throughput quantities.
