Abstract

In this paper an efficient grinding mode which is employed by the Cranfield BoX ultra precision grinding machine is discussed. The equations of workpiece surface and grinding wheel surface are proposed and the grinding motion is simulated via Matlab. The trajectory of the changing cutting region is discussed. The simulation results show that this grinding mode is suit to manufacture low slope surfaces. Generally, the workpiece surface is steeper, and the cutting range of the machine is smaller. The angle of the spindle inclination, the grinding wheel width and the cutting depth should be chose properly for different manufacturing capacity.
