Dynamics and Control of Grinding Machine with Micropositioning Workpiece Table

摘要

To improve the machining precision of a surface grinding machine, a micropositioning workpiece table with high performance was used as auxiliary infeed mechanism to implement nanometer level positioning and dynamic compensation. To better understand the characteristics of the grinding machine modulated with micropositioning workpiece table, the dynamic model of the grinding system was established with modal synthesis and Lagrange's equation methods. The grinding system was divided into five subsystems. For each subsystem, the generalized kinematic and potential energies were obtained. Accordingly the dynamic model of the grinding system was given in the modal domain. The waviness of the grinding process was achieved based on the wheel and workpiece vibration. A nonlinear proportional integral derivative (PID) controller with differential trackers was developed to realize dynamic control. The simulation results show that the machining accuracy of the workpiece can be effectively improved by utilizing the micropositioning workpiece table to implement dynamic compensation. An experimental test was carried out to verify the proposed method, and the waviness of the workpiece can be reduced from 0.46 pm to 0.10 mu m.
