Device and method for grinding workpieces using a control unit

摘要

A system for grinding solid workpieces includes a grinding wheel, a bearing for rotatable mounting of the grinding wheel about an axis of rotation, and a grinding wheel drive for rotating the grinding wheel. The system allows the production of freely-definable surfaces on the face of the rigid workpiece that comes into contact with the grinding wheel. The bearing is fastened to a pivotable and displaceable bearing carrier. The bearing plane is pivotable in any desired direction with respect to an initial plane and is displaceable in a direction perpendicular to the initial plane. Actuators are coupled to the bearing carrier to pivot and displace the bearing carrier. A digital control unit controls and synchronizes the actuators such that the surface of the grinding wheel creates a freely-definable face about a positionally fixed reference point which is at a radial distance from the center point of the grinding wheel.

1. A device for grinding solid workpieces, comprising:
a grinding wheel; a bearing for the rotatable mounting of the grinding wheel about an axis of rotation; a grinding wheel drive, which is coupled to the grinding wheel, for rotating the grinding wheel, wherein the bearing is fastened to a pivotable and displaceable bearing carrier, wherein the bearing plane of the bearing is pivotable in any desired directions with respect to an initial plane and is displaceable in an initial direction perpendicular to the initial plane; actuators coupled to the bearing carrier in order to pivot and displace the bearing carrier; and a digital control unit that controls and synchronizes the actuators such that the surface of the grinding wheel creates a freely-definable face about a positionally fixed reference point which is at a radial distance from the center point of the grinding wheel.
