ANALYSIS AND CONTROL OF VIBRATION IN GRINDING MACHINES

AVS.Ganeshraja, T.Dheenathayalan

Abstract: Vibration in grinding machine is hard to measure. It is witnessed from the formation of waviness on the work piece and grinding wheel. The major causes of vibration in grinding machine are misalignment and unbalancing. These unwanted vibrations will reduce the life of both machine and tool, resulting in loss of production. Vibration measurement is done by different approaches. This paper explains the vibration measurement done by Vibrometer. The vibrations are minimized by introducing dampers, made of rubber. The vibration is isolated due to the elasticity and energy absorbing property of rubber.

Keywords: grinding, vibration analysis, damping.
