Abstract
For achieving high material removal rates while grinding free formed surfaces, shape grinding with toroid grinding wheels is favored. The material removal is carried out line by line. The contact area between grinding wheel and workpiece is therefore complex and varying. Without detailed knowledge about the contact area, which is influenced by many factors, the shape grinding process can only be performed sub-optimally. To improve this flexible production process and in order to ensure a suitable process strategy a simulation-tool is being developed. The simulation comprises a geometric-kinematic process simulation and a finite elements simulation. This paper presents basic parts of the investigation, modelling and simulation of the NC-shape grinding process with toroid grinding wheels.
