OPTIMAL DESIGN OF BRITTLE MATERIALS SUPERFINISHING MACHINE

This paper reviews theoretical and experimental research regarding brittle materials processing with superfinishing machine. The optimization of the characteristics of brittle materials superfinishing machine is very important because they directly influence the quality of workpieces surfaces. The performances of the superfinishing machine linkages are increasingly higher, due to the following requirements: very high quality workpieces surface, reduced time for feed workpieces to machine tools, better interconnections between machine tools are used in the technological process, high flexibility. Main criteria for optimal design of brittle material superfinishing machine are: energy consumption criterion, technological criterion, dynamic criterion.
