Abstract

Grinding is used to meet the accuracy and surface finish requirements of the cam profile in most applications. In order to eliminate the contour error and enhance the processing precision of cam grinding, a methodology for contour error precompensation in cam grinding based on case-based reasoning and rule-based reasoning was implemented. By comparing the dimensional error variation and the corresponding adjacent error variation before/after intelligent precompensation, a satisfied result was obtained by applying the methodology to actual processing.
