A methodical approach for determining the components of forces during continuous centerless grinding

Background. The results of research in the field of centerless grinding indicate that there is a technological lag in this area. The need for a serious methodological restructuring of the theoretical foundations from the perspective of a comprehensive review of the process of continuous centerless grinding will reflect its essence and increase flexibility for various types of production. Materials and methods. A key element of these works is a formalized description of the models of the relationship of the processed part with the components of the technical equipment and decision-making procedures at all stages of production. An approach based on the analysis of forces arising from the contact of a part with the elements of a technological system has been developed, which makes it possible to identify the relationships between them and create a system of formalized models describing the influence of a wide range of factors on the characteristics of the through-centerless grinding process. To describe the generalized model of power circuits, a detailed description of the components of the forces that arise during the implementation of the process is given. Results. Taking into account the specifics of the processing method in the models determines the implementation of the design procedure for assigning rational technological modes that guarantee the stability of the process throughout the work area. Conclusions. The developed methodological approach and the formalized relationships of the system of interrelated forces reflect the dynamic nature of through-hole centerless grinding operations and serve as a theoretical basis for making objective and informed decisions in the technological preparation of these operations, ensuring the quality of work and increased productivity.
