Numerical control apparatus for roll grinding machine

摘要

A numerical control apparatus for the numerical control of a roll grinding machine comprises a flaw detecting means for scanning the entire surface of a roll (11), provided with an ultrasonic detecting head (23) for detecting flaws formed in the surface of the roll (11), a command generating means for generating cross-feed commands to repair detected flaws on the basis of flaw information about the positions and levels of the detected flaws, a control means for executing a first shaft position control operation on the basis of the cross-feed command to position the grinding wheel at a position with respect to a Z-axis corresponding to the position of the flaw by moving the wheel spindle stock in parallel to the axis of the roll and a second shaft positioning control operation to cross-feed the grinding wheel in parallel to an X-axis, and a decision means for deciding whether or not the flaw has been completely repaired and invoking the next cross-feed command if the flaw has been completely repaired.
