Development and Research of Simulation System of Vitrified Bond CBN Grinding Wheel Based on Virtual Reality Technology

The traditional study on grinding is testing the same material in conditions of different grinding parameters on a dedicated grinder, or testing different materials separately, which will not only waste a lot of human and material resources, but also extend the research and development cycle of wheel products, increase wheel product development costs, reduce the efficiency of study. If virtual reality and simulation technology are used to replace or reduce the actual experimental work, the grinding wheel manufacturing costs can be decreased and the competitiveness of R & D departments are increased, especially the diamond, CBN and others higher-cost super hard abrasives. This paper briefly introduce to some of the basic theory about the virtual reality simulation technology, then develop the grinding process modeling and simulation system of vitrified bond CBN grinding wheel by the MFC with OpenGL graphics library in the Microsoft Visual C + + 6.0 platform. After system simulation testing, the wear state of vitrified bond CBN grinding wheel on different conditions and different periods in the grinding process are predicted.
