ABSTRACT Introduction. Modern mechanical engineering is closely connected with digital production management technologies, for which an important aspect is the collection of reliable information about the current state of the systems. Acoustic methods of current control of the tool cutting ability possess significant potential due to the possibility of continuously obtaining up-to-date data on the parameters of machining process. Profile grinding is one of the widespread methods of machining surfaces of complex configuration. The high importance of this method lies in the high degree of responsibility of shaped parts obtained with it. The wear parameter of profiled grinding wheels needs current control to the same extent as other types of cutting tools. At the same time, acoustic methods of research have not found wide application in relation to profile grinding. In view of this, the present work is aimed at studying the influence of the tool wear rate on the acoustic characteristics of grinding when using grinding wheels of different profiles. Purpose of work is to determine the acoustic parameters of profile grinding with application of planar grinding scheme as it wears out in comparison with analogical process with application of straight profile grinding wheel. As the basic methods of research an experiment is used to study the acoustic phenomena accompanying grinding with application of wheels of different profile. An analysis of the acoustic signal of grinding is carried out, as well as an analysis of the spectrum of its frequency composition. The frequencies of natural vibrations of grinding wheels of different profiles are investigated, its sound index is determined as a criterion for evaluating its characteristics. Acoustic characteristics of the grinding process with the use of grinding wheels of different profiles are compared. Regression analysis of acoustic data obtained as a result of the experiment is also used. Results and discussion. Spectrograms of frequencies of natural vibrations of the wheels under research, as well as a number of spectrograms of the acoustic signal accompanying the processing process for various technological conditions are received. As a result of comparing the obtained spectrograms, the informative frequencies of the grinding processes are determined. Mathematical models of sound level dependence on the value of periodic vertical feed St at depth t and processing time T are developed. It is established that the value of periodic vertical feed St at depth t has a greater influence on the acoustic index in comparison with the machining duration T. Practical significance and prospects of the results of the work lies in the possibility of increasing the efficiency of profile grinding processes due to the rational use of the tool availability.

Inevitable tool wear accompanying such machining depends on process conditions and directly influences the properties of the final product. Therefore, wear parameter monitoring and precise determination of current tool performance are key to product quality assurance.
