Machine control gage system

摘要

A machine control gage system which is able to immediately recognize the cause of abnormal machining of a workpiece. The machine control gage system determines a change in the outer diameter of the workpiece during grinding, and outputs a control signal to a grinding machine controller when the measurement of the workpiece reaches a predetermined size. The machine control gage system is provided with a memory for containing measurement data obtained during grinding. By entering a predetermined command from a keyboard after machining, the measurement data relating to a specific workpiece can be retrieved from the memory, and the machining process can be repeatedly reproduced on a meter and/or a display means such as a bar-graph display. By fast-forwarding and slow-forwarding, the machining process can be monitored in further detail.
