Abstract

By analyzing the structure characteristics of arbitrary n-polygon noncircular sections, mathematical formulas among the characteristic parameters were set up, and a theorem for designing this kind of sections was deduced by mathematical induction method. Based on the mechanistic transmission principle, the control theorems for the numerical control (NC) grinding of arbitrary n-polygon noncircular sections and the control model for the multicoordinate motion were built. A feed rate selfadjusting method was proposed to uniform the grinding speed with the changes of sectional curvature. Then, an NC machine tool for grinding n-polygon noncircular sections was developed. The test results of the grinded parts showed that the section profiles accorded with the design demands: the roughness was less than 0.32 ?m and the dimensional accuracy was within 8 ?m. The results prove that the proposed theorems and method can effectively direct the design and manufacture of the polygonal noncircular connection.
