Automatic chamfering machine.

摘要

An automatic chamfering machine for ceramic honeycomb structural bodies and the like workpieces is disclosed, and includes a clamping device (4) by which a workpiece - (W) is clamped and caused to rotate in one direction. The movement of a grinder wheel (5) with respect to the workpiece (W) is controlled by a tracer element (6) urged against the outer peripheral surface of the workpiece (W) itself, so as to carry out an autoprofiling chamfering operation. The grinder wheel (5) thus removes a constant amount of material from the workpiece (W) even when the workpiece (W) has an irregular outer contour, or is clamped inaccurately.
