Study on the AE Signal Based Grinding Contact Detection Method for Thin-Walled Ceramic Materials

Abstract:

Engineering ceramics are hard and brittle materials, that is very easy to crack when grinding, and processing mechanism is rather complex than that of metallic materials. One kind of AE signal based grinding contact detection and feeding control method for ceramic material processing is presented in this paper based on ceramic grinding mechanism study. Through a large number of experimental data analyzing, the relationship between grinding touch and the feature of AE signals is obtained, and the automatic and intelligent grinding process can be realized by grinding contact signal driving grinding numeral program. Application results indicate this method can prove grinding efficiency and process quality.
