Abstract

In grinding technology, the application ofsupcrabrasivcs and increasing demands for higher productivity and higher quality require an appropriate selection of optimum set-up parameters. An efficient way to determine and test these parameters is modeling and simulating the grinding process. A visualization of the results can support the choice of the parameters and increase the knowledge of the complex grinding process. This paper describes a web-based visualization tool on the basis of a kinematic simulation. The tool allows the visualization of the surface of an already ground workpiece as well as the changing shape of the workpiece during the grinding process. Two methods for the visualization of the grinding-objects are implemented. One method describes the scene with the Virtual Reality Modeling Language, the other one uses a renderer to create the images.
