Critical success factors for Kaizen implementation in manufacturing industries in Mexico

To machine a noncoaxial nonaxisymmetric aspheric lens, a new parallel grinding method that employs a fixture with an adjustable gradient (AGF) is proposed. The AGF is developed for a three-axis computer numerically controlled grinding machine. The grinding method is presented according to the proposed grinding system. To ensure the machining accuracy, the main machining errors and the compensation algorithm are discussed for the grinding method using the AGF. Simulation results show that the AGF rotation errors are crucial factors affecting the profile error of the machined workpiece. Experimental results show that employing the compensation algorithm increases machining accuracy.
