MONITORING THE PARAMETER EFFECTS OF SURFACE GRINDING PROCESS USING TEMPERATURE, ACOUSTIC EMISSION AND FORCE MEASUREMENT

摘要

Temperature, forces and acoustic emission measurements are employed for research into the mechanics of grinding and for process monitoring. Temperature measurement in grinding presents a number of challenges especially in wet grinding. Fluid can affect the precision of the measurement when using infrared technique or make a short circuit when using grindable thermocouple. This paper highlights the previous temperature measurement methods and introduces a new one for measuring. Acoustic Emission technique has the capability to provide efficient real-time knowledge and monitoring of the grinding process. AE_(RMS) values were used to analyses the process characteristics. This paper explores the relations between temperature, force, acoustic emission and roughness.
