Numerical and Experimental Approach for Roll Grinding Process Lihong Yuan, Veli-Matti Järvenpää, Seppo Virtanen and Hessam K.

The rolling contact between a metal roll and the grindstone may cause the pattern formation on the roll surface during the grinding operation. A self-excited vibration excitation or so-called regenerative chatter excitation is present in the process. The chatter vibrations are described by a mathematic model including time delay effects. The numerical results of frequency responses are illustrated and they are consistent with the on-site measurements in a workshop of a roll factory. 1 Introduction In paper machine industry, a roll grinding machine is used to finish or maintain roll surface. Excellent surface finish should be homogenous one with silky sheen, free of scratches and any other blemishes. Precision roll provides more efficient roll operation and better paper quality. To understand the dynamic behaviour of grinding machine towards these aspects is very important. A typical grinding machine consists of work piece-roll (metal) and grinding wheel (stone) which keep contact interaction during the process. The contact vibration problem of such kind of system is studied in this work. In order to ensure the finishing the entire surface of on roll, technically there are always overlaps
