Capability Profile of Hard Cutting and Grinding Processes

This keynote paper aims at matching the supply of research results with the industrial demands in hard cutting and grinding. The capability profiles of the processes are characterised and several manufacturing solutions are discussed. The comparison of hard cutting and grinding operations is carried out with regard to certain evaluation criteria based on the functionality of the machined workpiece itself, discussed at different levels, and the process economical efficiency. The basis for a roadmap of future development of hard machining technology is provided, e. g. the main technological developments associated with multi-processing hard machining concepts are given detailed consideration.
