Influence of Honing Head Design on Out of Roundness: 1st Report, Theoretical Investigation

摘要

In the honing operation, the influence of the honing head design on the out of roundness of a workpiece is investigated theoretically. Harmonic analysis is applied to fit the curve to the shape of the cross section of the workpiece. Using the three-stick honing head, the amplitude of waves of degree 3, 6, 9, ··· is attenuated more rapidly than that of waves of degree 2, 4, 5, 7, ··· as the honing proceeds. The four-stick honing head can not attenuate the amplitude of waves of degree 3, 5, 7, 9, ··· but attenuates that of waves of degree 2, 4, 6, ···. In the case of the honing head with greater sticking, the amplitude of some waves is amplified. The influence of the space of stick and shoes around the periphery of single-stick honing head on the out of roundness is investigated.
