A computer program design for optimization of a cylindrical traverse grinding operations

Abstract

Traverse cylindrical grinding productivity and accuracy depend on many factors of rough, fine and spark out grinding. Evaluation of all these factors at manual calculation of the process plan is impossible, for that reason the engineer technologist selects the cutting rates approximately, and they are far from optimal. We have deduced equations for calculation of optimal cutting rates for that purpose. Because of task complexity the computer program was designed for calculations which is described in this paper.
