NC controlled grinding wheel truing device - achieves compact design by using mechanical linkage to produce radial component of diamond motion

摘要

Two wheel dressing units are mounted on a rapid approach slide simultaneously to produce the two sides of a double-sided taper form on the grinding wheel (1). Each unit has a main slide (4), which moves the dressing diamond in the y (radial) direction, and a subsidiary slide (5) whose motion in the y direction is converted into an x (axial)movement by the linkage (10) to the ram type cross-slide carrying the dressing diamond (19). The two slides are driven by servo-motors under numerical control. An alternative design uses a templet to control the axial movement of the diamond. USE/ADVANTAGE - Rigid, compact design of grinding wheel dressing unit with low mass and high accuracy.
