Control for grinding machine

摘要

A control for a grinding machine of the type having a grinding wheel mounted at an oblique angle relative to a workpiece, the control including means for receiving first data representative of a contour to be ground on the workpiece defined in a first set of axes in a workpiece coordinate system, means for transforming the first data into a set of second data defined in a second set of axes relative to the grinding wheel and means for generating output signals to cause the grinding wheel to grind a predefined contour on the workpiece in accordance with the second data.
