Control system for roll grinding machine

摘要

An adaptive control system for a roll grinding machine. A desired radius as a function of longitudinal direction of the roll is preprogrammed. A power driven grinding wheel is applied to the roll and power to the grinding wheel is monitored. For each longitudinal position of the grinding wheel, the actual radius of the roll is measured and the desired radius noted. From these numbers, a desired power for driving the grinding wheel is computed. The actual power is compared with the desired power and the pressure of the grinding wheel against the roll is adjusted accordingly.
