Abstract: The Centerless grinding machine primarily facilitates the ease of grinding processes of bulk and big mechanical component’s which are difficult to axially fit and rotate on the centered grinding machine’s. The preceding and early developed grinding machines were majorly manually operated, which caused accuracy and precision deviations to the payload. This paper gives a detailed improvement’s of the former. A detailed study of the advanced machines and a comprehensive study in advanced process monitoring in centerless grinding technology are looked into. A collaborative study led to the following improvement’s which will be further discussed: Implementation of In Process Gauging, Implementation of Flagging Unit for face cut, Implementation of Servo mechanism for Regulating Wheel Dresser, Implementation of Servo mechanism for Drive Feed. The study of improvement of the number of axis which were manually controlled and have been integrated with C.N.C Control processors have also been summarized. The merging of the above mentioned specific’s and implementation to the grinding machine and the effect of these improvements have been studied.
Keywords: Centreless grinding, Cpk index, In Process Gauging, Flagging unit.
