ESTABLISHING COORDINATE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL STRUCTURE IN THE SPACE OF THE CENTERLESS PROCESSING ZONE

The choice of centerless grinding operations as a method of manufacturing high-precision parts is determined by ensuring the stability of the quality of the treated surfaces and high productivity. In certain industries, the manufacture of individual products without using this method becomes a difficult task to implement. However, there are serious limitations to its practical implementation due to the insufficiently developed scientific and methodological base of technological training issues. Research is presented on improving the design procedures for the stages of technological preparation of centerless grinding operations, including the formalization of design actions to establish coordinate relationships between the dimensional characteristics of the treated surface and components of the technological system of equipment in the space of the entire working area of the machine. A flowchart of algorithmic support for the automated execution of this design procedure is described. The results of the verification of the developed theoretical models in the conditions of existing production complexes allowed us to draw a conclusion about their operability, taking into account the specifics of a particular production and the current production situation. The developed models develop methodological provisions for the use of through-pass centerless grinding operations aimed at the development of computer-aided design systems for technological processes and the effective functioning of production systems consisting of groups of centerless grinding equipment.
