Abstract
In a method of grinding a component, a reduction in the finish grinding time is achieved by rotating the component through only a single revolution during a final grinding step and controlling the depth of cut and the component speed of rotation during that single revolution, so as to maintain a substantially constant specific metal removal rate during the final grinding step. The headstock velocity can vary between 2 and 20 rpm during a single revolution of the cam during the final grinding step. Using a grinding machine having 17.5 kw of available power for rotating the wheel, and cutting with a grinding wheel in the range 80–120 mm diameter typically the depth of cut lies in the range of 0.25 to 0.5 mm.
