ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for monitoring characteristics of grinding tools and grinding system behavior in a production grinding process. The method includes steps of acquiring sensor data indicative of a rate of material removal over one or more measurement periods during the grinding process, acquiring sensor data indicative of power consumed by the grinding tools over the measurement periods during the grinding process, and, from a material removal versus power plot, calculating a ratio of the change in the rate of material removal to that of the power consumed by the grinding tools over the measurement periods. In some embodiments, the method includes optimizing the grinding process by adjusting the feed rates and feed transition points. Additional data from vibration sensors and work form gauges may also be used in some instances for optimization and system troubleshooting.
