Abstract
Aiming at the high precision machining of screw rotors, a new grinding method for screw rotors using cubic boron nitride (CBN) grinding wheel is presented in this paper. Small electroplated CBN grinding wheel is firstly used to grind screw rotors. The mathematical model for the axial profiles of CBN grinding wheel is developed based on gear engagement theory. Taking the backlash of screw rotors and the coating thickness of CBN layer into consideration, the modification of the base body of the wheel shape is introduced into the design of the CBN grinding wheel. Wire cut electrical discharge machining low speed (WEDM-LS) was used to machine the base body of the CBN grinding wheel. The formed turning tools of the base body of CBN grinding wheel using WEDM-LS and the wheel shapes of CBN grinding wheel using the formed turning tool were performed. The CBN grinding wheels for the screw rotors were made to verify the validity and effectiveness of the presented method. The electroplated CBN grinding wheels were used to machine the screw rotors, and the machining experiments were performed. The data obtained in the experiments reach the fifth class of Chinese Standard GB10095-88.
