Abstract: This paper deals with the development of a high-efficiency and precision grinding technology for producing HIPSN ceramic bearing races. A new high-speed CNC grinding machine has been developed, which is equipped with a high-speed ceramic spindle with a built-in motor. Extensive experiments have been performed with this new machine to investigate the influence of various process parameters such as wheel speed, work speed, depth of cut, and wheel grit size on material removal rate, surface finish, grinding forces, and so on. The results of these investigations are presented in this paper. With the application of this technology, a low cost production of ceramic bearings race was realized with the most optimized process parameter.

Abstract: As one of the modern manufacture technology, high-speed precision grinding takes an important part in the modern manufacture field. With the development of the technology on high-speed spindle unit, linear precision high-speed feed unit, manufacture of grinding wheel, measurement etc, a great deal of research achievements make it possible for high-speed precision grinding. In this paper, using PMAC (Programmable Multi-Axis Controller)—PC as the central controller, a new kind of high-speed precision grinder is designed and manufactured. The servo control technology of linear motor is investigated. The dynamic performances of the machine are analyzed according to the experimental results. Elliptical workpieces have been machined with this new high-speed precision grinder. Based on these research results, a very helpful approach is provided for the precision grinding of complicated workpieces, and these results promote the development of high speed grinding too.

Abstract: In resent years, ceramic balls have been applied into precision bearings and other parts far and wide because of its advantages in light weight, high hardness, abrasive resistance, high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, little heat expansion coefficient and so on. The high-precision ceramic balls are machined by lapping usually, and the method of lapping has an important influence on the machining precision and efficiency of ceramic balls. In order to improve the precision and efficiency of ceramic ball machining, in the paper, a new cone lapping method is researched by the lapping experiment. The research result shows that the cone method is the optimal lapping method with high precision, high efficiency and the very simple machine. Furthermore, the mechanics characteristic of the cone lapping method have been analyzed and summarized, which will provide the basic principle and theoretical basis for the choice of primary geometry and mechanics parameter in the process of ceramic balls lapping.
