Form Accuracy of Internal Grinding of Small and Deep Holes with Coolant Supplied from Inner Side of Grinding Wheel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Generally, grinding fluid is supplied from a nozzle to a grinding point. However, it is difficult to supply sufficient coolant to the deep grinding point of a hole. Therefore, we have proposed an alternative coolant system that supplies grinding fluid from the inner side of the grinding wheel utilizing the spindle through the supply system of the machining center. In this study, a new tool for small and deep holes was developed to supply grinding fluid in this way. The inside of a 0.45%C steel cylinder was then machined under various grinding conditions. Higher form accuracy and surface roughness were obtained under all conditions by supplying grinding coolant from the inner side of the grinding wheel. In addition, the system prevented tears on the machined surface and loading on the grinding wheel.
