Abstract
The paper describes different methods for modelling and optimization of grinding processes. First the process and product quality characterizing quantities have to be measured. Afterwards different model types, e.g. physical–empirical basic grinding models as well as empirical process models based on neural networks, fuzzy set theory and standard multiple regression methods, are discussed for an off-line process conceptualization and optimization using a genetic algorithm. The assessment of grinding process results, which build the individuals in the genetic algorithm's population, is carried out using a target tree method. The methods presented are integrated into an existing grinding information system, which is part of a three control loop system for quality assurance.
