Method of grinding rotary workpieces

摘要

The grinding of successive workpieces in a surface grinding machine with automatic transport of workpieces to and from the grinding station is interrupted at preselected intervals to replace the workpiece at the grinding station with a pattern which is contacted by the sensors of a measuring device serving as a means for monitoring the diameters of workpieces in the course of the grinding operation. The thus obtained signals are indicative of the wear upon the sensors and are used as reference signals for the treatment of the next series of workpieces. The work transporting device is used to convey the pattern between the grinding station and a depository wherein the pattern is cooled during storage by the medium which is used to cool workpieces during treatment at the grinding station.
