In the grinding process of special spiral rods, the actual feed rate is far below the allowable limit, resulting in great efficiency waste. To tackle the problem, this paper presents a controlling strategy which significantly improves rough grinding efficiency through changing grinding feed rate, enhances work-piece surface quality and shortens the processing time. Based on the establishment of the work cycle model of the special spiral rod grinding process, the strategy sets the grinding efficiency of each individual rod section as the objective function, thus via genetic algorithm realizes an optimal calculation on grinding feed rate variable and resolves the power and roundness constraint problem. Through computer simulation, an optimal grinding control plan is obtained which can help the grinding process to achieve overall optimization.
