Technological Features of Forming Flat Tool for Processing Axicons by A. S. Kozeruk, R. O. Dias Gonzalez, A. A. Sukhotzkiy, M. I. Filonova, V. O. Kuznechik

“…It has been substantiated that in order to control the process of forming flat surfaces while using a free grinding method it is advisable to choose such machine setup parameters as a tool diameter and its rotation frequency, an amplitude of the reciprocating movement of the part along the tool (or vice versa) and frequency of this movement, as well as the value of  the working  force.  Mathematical  modeling  of  patterns  for abrasive processing of  flat surfaces in the conditions of  free grinding on lever machines has been carried out in the paper. …”
