Grinding operation has an advantage of precise form shaping in machining processes. However, if the surface profile is not known before the machining process, it is hard to obtain an accurate surface profile using a grinding operation. In this work, a novel method to compensate the form shaping errors in grinding operations due to the lack of a priori knowledge of the surface profile will be presented. Grinding operation on a workpiece with an unknown surface profile is aimed. Compliance force control is implemented by means of admittance control in two degrees of freedom using a piezo actuator and a hexapod parallel manipulator. The desired force interaction between the tool and the workpiece was achieved by imposing an offset from the preset depth of cut. Additionally, tool deflection due to the grinding forces of the robotic grinding setup is taken into consideration. The deflections are computed from the grinding forces in real time and the compensation is performed by the hexapod robot in six degrees of freedom. Based on the literature review, this is the first study in which grinding on a workpiece with an unknown surface profile was performed while tool deflection due to the grinding forces was compensated. Two different control algorithms namely PID control and Active Disturbance Rejection Control were tested on a robotic grinding setup and the experiment results are discussed.

Robotic deburring has an advance of precise and repeatable machining process on specific surface profiles. However, different from traditional deburring, deburring robots require generated trajectories on a workpiece with unknown chip thickness, which is a hard task due to the low stiffness of robot arm and abrasive tool used. This study presents a method for planning the online trajectory of a deburring robot by considering tool deflection based on the motion primitives trained from offline trajectories. F...

Flow forming is a metal forming process for cylindrical workpieces where high velocity deformation leads to radial thinning and axial extension. In the current study, a thermomechanical, dynamic and explicit finite element model of a flow forming process is developed on ABAQUS software. The model is validated through the comparison of reaction forces and geometry obtained from the experiments. Coolant convection effect is analyzed in conjunction with roller and mandrel conduction cooling to study the therma...

Latifinavid, Masoud; Donder, Abdulhamit; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-06-01)
In robotic grinding, significant tool deflection occurs due to the lower stiffness of the manipulator and tool, compared with operation by universal grinding machines. Tool deflection during robotic grinding operation causes geometrical errors in the workpiece cross section. Also, it makes difficult to control the grinding cutting depth. In this study, a method is proposed for calculation of the tool deflection in normal and tangential directions based on grinding force feedback in these directions. Based o...

A computational technique based on domain-boundary element method (D-BEM) is developed for elastodynamic analysis of functionally graded thick-walled cylinders and annular coatings subjected to pressure shock type of loadings. The formulation is built on the wave equation, which is derived in accordance with plane elastody-namics. Weighted residual statement for the wave equation is expressed by using the static fundamental solution as the weight function. Applying integration by parts and incorporating the...
