Parameter input

On the surface, modeling training for a manufacturing process as complex as camshaft grinding does not seem intuitive at all. However, it is a relatively simple process of entering known and published machine tools, grinding wheels and coolant values.

The thermal model making module is based on the existing machining speed optimization and acceleration smoothing procedures. In addition to the material removal rate and the lobe lift distribution map, this program also considers the traditional machine tool performance variables. The camshaft designer provides a lift profile in how many lifts per degree around the circumference of the lobe. Grinder manufacturers provide machine dynamic limits such as wheel feed acceleration and runout, headstock speed and runout. The three main parameters required to generate a thermal model module are:

Cr value - this empirically derived value represents the material removal capability of the grinding wheel, with the camshaft material and the grinding wheel material and bonding agent (cubic boron nitride or CBN material, the grinding wheel with ceramic bonding agent is currently used for grinding The type of grinding wheel that is most commonly used for cutting camshafts. These Cr values ​​are derived from machine tool force and power measurements. The "C" component represents the abrasive grain density (abrasive to binder ratio) and the "r" represents the wheel surface topology (scratch width versus scratch depth).

Heat Distribution Constant - This is the percentage between the heat entering the part and the heat taken away by the coolant. The heat distribution constant is different for oil and water based coolants, respectively.

Feed Increment - This is the depth at which the grinding wheel cuts into the lobes per blade (usually the smallest at the end of the grinding wheel/bevel contact area) and is different for roughing and finishing. Instead of progressively feeding the grinding wheel to the incremental depth, the grinding wheel feeds directly to the incremental value and will maintain this depth around the entire lobes. This feed increment is generally greater for the roughing cycle than for the finishing cycle, and it is directly related to the material removal rate.

Temperature information

There are two color profiles produced by the thermal model. A display showing the actual lobed shape with a color temperate band showing the thermal distribution under the lobed surface as the camshaft turns one turn (see Figure 1). The temperature peak toward the center of the lobe indicates the area where the problem occurred.
