High-speed grinding with CBN grinding wheels — applications and future technology

The basic mechanisms and the applications for the technology of high-speed grinding with CBN grinding wheels are presented. In addition to developments in process technology associated with high-speed machining, the grinding machine, coolant system, and the grinding tool also need to adapt to high-speed machining. Workpiece-related factors influencing the results of machining are also discussed. The paper concludes with a presentation of current research and future developments in the area of high-speed grinding, and the development of high-speed CBN camshaft grinding.
