ABSTRACT

Moreover, microgrinding and abrasive micromachining processes have to deal with stochastic variations and changes within control limits. However, it is possible to begin with ba­ sic information and experimental results, on most of the pro­ cess input factors [14,15]. Such information and results com­ bined with the fine-tuning of selected factors can achieve the desired workpiece accuracy. This approach coupled with expe­ rience-based rules or guidelines has been successfully em­ ployed in achieving desired highly accurate components in a number of precision production/fabrication cases which are described below.
