Model based design applied to ceramic balls grinding

This research uses model based design to evaluate and realize the complex motion of the lower plates that define balls motion during grinding. The Model In the Loop (MIL) was performed through the machine model generated using ADAMS and then exported to Simulink. For a prior evaluation of the machining, the grinding tracks were built through the simulation results performing Software In the Loop (SIL). The balls grinding was performed by an Arduino connected to the machine, finishing Hardware In the Loop (HIL). The technique integrated the simulation and balls grinding processes, increasing the simplicity and reducing the development time. (C) 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
