Model-Based Compensation of Geometry-Errors when Grinding Material Compounds

When grinding material compounds, different material properties cause significantly changed cutting conditions. Grinding forces, wheel wear and wear mechanisms as well as temperature load of the system differ due to these changes in mechanism, leading to deviant surface qualities and geometrical errors. If consistent quality at the compound’s transition from one material into the other is needed, these errors need to be compensated. In this paper geometry error sources are evaluated by comparing error cause models to experimental results.
