Abstract
Camshaft grinding is more complex comparing with the ordinary cylindrical grinding. Since its quality is mostly influenced by more factors, how to select process parameters quickly and accurately becomes the key to improve its quality and processing efficiency. In this paper, a hybrid artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA) model is proposed to optimize the process parameters. In this method, a BP neural network model is developed to map the complex nonlinear relationship between process parameters and processing requirements, and a GA is used in order to improve the accuracy and speed based on the ANN model. The results show that the hybrid ANN/GA model is an effective tool for the process parameters optimization in NC camshaft grinding.
