A method is described for setting up a computer controlled grinding machine for cylindricaly grinding concentric workpiece regions, in which a programme containing data about the workpiece and a programme containing wheelfeed instructions are loaded and the wheelfeed instructions programme is run so as to grind at least one such workpiece region to final form. The region is gauged and the magnitude and angular position of any unwanted eccentricity introduced by the grinding process, is noted, and the wheelfeed programme instructions or control derived therefrom signals are adjusted so that during subsequent grinding of the said region (or a similar region of a similar workpiece), the wheelfeed is controlled so as to compensate for said measured unwanted eccentricity. The workpiece region is stress relieved before the gauging. After setting up, the grinding machine will eccentrically grind a workpiece region which is to have a cylindrical surface concentric relative to the workpiece primary axis, rather than concentrically grinding the said region, the degree of eccentricity being such that when the cylindrically ground workpiece is stress relieved after grinding, the region will be concentric relative to the workpiece axis. A computer controlled grinding machine is described as are programmes for setting up and grinding. <IMAGE> |
