PT Journal AU Farsky, J Zetek, M Baksa, T Adamek, P TI Influence of Grinding Conditions and Tilting the Spindle on the Spindle Load when a 5-Axis Grinder is Used SO Manufacturing Technology Journal PY 2019 BP 375 EP 379 VL 19 IS 3 DI 10.21062/ujep/299.2019/a/1213-2489/MT/19/3/375 DE Grinding conditions; Tilting the spindle; Spindle load; Grinding; 5-axis; Maraging Steel AB This article deals with the influence of grinding conditions and tilting the spindle on changes in the spindle load when grinding tool steel on a 5-axis tool grinding machine. The experiment was designed to investigate any changes in cutting speed, feed rate or tilting of the spindle. The size of the load is very important, because the load can influence the tool life, the life of the machine components, quality of the surfaces and dimensional accuracy of the components. A medical femoral knee replacement was selected as the semi-finished component for the experiment, as its surface is a good representative of a complex-shaped surface. This article is limited only to the grinding of maraging steel MS1 with a CBN grinding wheel. The second part of this article is focused on the experiment where the spindle load is evaluated and the results of the experiments are compared. ER
