Dynamic Numerical Simulation of Mould Free-Form Curved Surface Gasbag Polishing

Polishing is an important technics processing in order to obtain the high quality surface of mould in industry mould manufacture. For the moment, polishing of the free-form curved surfaces of mould is performed by manpower. So it is important to research gasbag polishing technology. This paper has been developed dynamic numerical simulation for gasbag polishing process based on the new type of polishing tools by FEM. On the material removal theory, influence of the shape of the structure of the gasbag, angular velocity and the air pressure inside the air gasbag on the campaign polishing process are explored. It can be used to provide technology support to establish polishing process database.
