NC Programming and Error Discussion in Grinding for Cylindrical Cam’s Groove

Abstract

The grinding for cylindrical cam’s groove means grinding for groove’s flanks. For cylindrical cam with translating cylindrical followers, an auto-programming system for NC machining of cylindrical cam’s groove is developed. It can be applied to machine cylindrical cam with different types of curve grooves, by using cutter or wheel with different diameter. For validating geometry precision of the auto-programming system, emulation is carried out using the VERICUT, which is a NC machining emulator system. It is …
