Grinding rounded edge on cylindrical workpiece - inclining grinding wheel axis to workpiece axis

摘要

The end face (1) of a cylindrical workpiece (2) is ground by a cup-shaped grinding wheel (5) which has a flat face at its open end. The grinding operation consists of two phases. In the first phase the workpiece (2) is rotated about its own axis (3) as it is pressed against the grinding wheel (5) which rotates about a parallel axis (4). In the second phase the grinding wheel axis (4) is inclined at an angle (11) to the workpiece axis (3). At the same time the grinding wheel (5) is positoned so that its rim intersects the edge of the workpiece in two places. Grinding the workpiece in this way produces a rounded edge (10) of an approximately constant radius. USE - Grinding of cylindrical workpieces.
