Abstract

An in-process surface roughness sensor developed by the author has been applied to cylindrical grinding operations. The sensor utilizes fibre optics to illuminate a workpiece surfacec and to detect the intensity of the reflected light. A change of surface roughness during one plunge grinding cycle is measured for various grinding conditions. It is confirmed by the measurements that the surface roughness is closely related to changes of the workpiece radius during a grinding cycle. The result is quite simple and it is useful in determining the cycle time of a grinding operation.
