This study implements a high-precision camshaft profile grinding system by retrofitting the C-axis and X-axis structures of an existing cylindrical grinding machine and integrating CNC variable monitoring and control functions based on the manufacturer-provided Programming Package. The original inverter-driven C-axis was replaced with a servo motor to enable precise angular positioning, while a linear scale was additionally applied to the X-axis to establish a closed-loop system capable of high-precision infeed control. Changes in the grinding wheel diameter due to dressing are compensated by real-time monitoring of internal CNC variables, enabling regeneration of the profile grinding program to prevent degradation of form accuracy. Perfomance evaluation showed that the camshaft profile accuracy was maintained within ±4 μm, and the consistency of the profile was sustained within ±2.5 μm over repeated grinding cycles. This study presents a practical technological foundation for converting cylindrical grinding machines into profile grinders capable of precision machining of non-circular components such as camshafts.
There are many studies to extend the distance traveled by electric vehicles. However, much research has been done to increase the capacity of the battery. In this study, some engines for power generation, in which a battery is charged with energy by mounting a small internal combustion engine in which an engine is mounted in an electric vehicle and the battery is charged with energy, are being studied. Therefore, since such an engine is operated at a high load, the camshaft and the camshaft are emphasized to have high load strength and durability to withstand fatigue.
