RETRACTED: Research on the automatic belt grinding system for machining blade with complex surface (Retracted Article)

Blade is one of the most important components in devices such as generating equipments, aircraft engines and turbines. Its surface quality has important influence on the overall performance and working reliability of these devices. In this work, an automatic belt grinding system is designed to satisfy the growing demand for finish machining of blade with high-quality and high-efficiency. The belt grinding process of blade is firstly discussed and then, a self-adapting hybrid belt grinding machine tool is designed and analyzed. After that, grinding path on the blade is planned and motions of this machine tool when grinding the blade are calculated. At last, virtual prototype of this machine tool is built and the machining process when grinding blade is visualized. Simulation results indicate that the designed belt grinding system has very good performance when following complex surface and can be used in machining blade with complex surface.
