1. Pathways to Intelligent Upgrades

1. IoT Integration:

• Vibration and temperature sensors monitor wheel dynamic balance in real time.

• Data is uploaded to MES via OPC UA protocol.

2. Digital Twin Technology:

• Virtual models simulate grinding processes to predict dimensional deviations.

2. Adaptive Grinding Technology

1. Force Control: Piezoelectric sensors detect grinding forces and dynamically adjust feed rates.

2. Vision Guidance: CCD cameras identify workpiece positions and auto-compensate misalignment.

3. Predictive Maintenance Systems

1. Spindle Health Monitoring: Vibration spectrum analysis warns of bearing failures in advance.

2. Wheel Wear Prediction: Current signals model wear, achieving >90% replacement timing accuracy.

4. Future Directions

1. AI Process Libraries: Auto-match material-parameter-wheel combinations.

2. Ultra-Precision Grinding: Air spindle technology targets roundness below 0.1 µm.

Industry Outlook: With 5G and Industrial IoT, CNC centerless grinding machines will further integrate into "unmanned workshops."
