Industrial Engineering of Grinding Processes - Technology Developments



2002

A research and development program  “intelligent optimization and control of grinding processes,”


The grinding process involves more variables—type of grinding wheel, wheel speed, infeed rate, wheel dressing frequency, dressing method, type of coolant and so forth—than most other metalworking processes. There are so many variables, in fact, that controlling the grinding process has come to be viewed as an art and is given to a skilled grinding machine operator with years of experience.

That may change . A research and development program intended to provide “intelligent optimization and control of grinding processes,”  is a joint venture involving several companies involved with grinding. It was chosen by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a recipient of its 2002 Advanced Technology Program (ATP) competition award.

ON THE WAY TO DIGITAL THE GRINDING PROCESS
SEPTEMBER, 2019

Modern grinding tools become Industry 4.0-compatible by equipping them with a digital data interface. In this way, tool manufacturers make a significant contribution to the optimisation of grinding processes through digitization.

The CBNi grinding tools manufactured by Hermes Schleifmittel from Hamburg have RFID chips embedded in the base body. They enable continuous, wireless communication between grinding tool and machine or between grinding tool and bearing system. The chips have a read time of 0.02 - 0.03 seconds per 16 bytes and can be individually programmed.

Tim Göttsching is Industry Manager for Bonded at Hermes Schleifmittel in Hamburg (Germany). Verena Göhler is Product Manager for CBN-Tools at Hermes Schleifmittel in Dresden (Germany). For details, contact Nitesh Kedia, Technical – Sales of Dev Abrasive (distributor for Hermes Abrasives in India), on Tel: 022 2882 8419, 2881 2186, Mob: 098334 45444, or Email: info@devabrasive.in
