Simulation and Experimental Research of the Grinder'S Wheelhead Dynamics

In this paper we present a simulation based on the physical model of a cylindrical, plunge grinder with hydrostatic slideways and hydrostatic bearings of a grinding wheel spindle. The simulation was carried out in order to check the influence of the grinding process on the forced vibration damping of the wheelhead. The experimental research was undertaken to verify the idea of the damping facility of the grinding process. The results of the experiments and the simulation were used to draw the final conclusions.
