Abstract

There are two major differences between the centerless infeed grinding process and the centerless through-feed grinding process. One is an axial movement of workpieces, and the other is that several workpieces are ground simultaneously and continuously by through-feeding. Because of these differences, through-feed ground parts inherently possess not only the roundness error but also the tapering error. The aims of the research reported in this paper are to examine this inherent tapering characteristic and to find the effects of grinding variables (center height angle, regulating wheel tilt angle, and shape of grinding wheel surface). To accomplish the objectives, experiments were carried out using two types of cylindrical workpiece shapes. Also, computer simulations were performed using the 3-D through-feed grinding model.
