The geometric error in the surface grinding process is mainly affected by the thermal effect and the stiffness of the grinding system.
For minimizing the geometric error, the selection of grinding parameters is very important. This paper presented an application of Taguchi
and response surface methodologies for the geometric error. The effect of grinding parameters on the geometric error was evaluated and
optimum grinding conditions for minimizing the geometric error were determined. A second-order response model for the geometric error
was developed and the utilization of the response surface model was evaluated with constraints of the surface roughness and the material
removal rate. Confirmation experiments were conducted at an optimal condition and selected two conditions for observing accuracy of the
developed response surface model.
