IN-FEED CONTROL
(FOR GRINDING MACHINE)
5.3 IN-FEED CONTROL (FOR GRINDING MACHINE)
Overview
Every time an external signal is input at the end of table swing, cutting is performed
by a fixed amount according to the programmed profile in the specified Y-Z plane. By
this function, the grinding and the cutting can be performed in time, and the grinding
of a workpiece having profile can be performed easily.
For example, a workpiece shown in the above figure that is programmed by linear
interpolation- circular interpolation- linear interpolation on the Y-Z plane can be
ground.
In this example, a sensor is arranged at the position X=0 and turns on the external
signal when the sensor detects a grinding wheel. First, the program enters the state
waiting for inputting the external signal when the program is started at the position
A. In this state, if the sensor detects the grinding wheel and the external signal is
input, the cutting is performed only by a specified amount (α) along the programmed
profile in the specified Y-Z plane and the axis moves to the position B (operation (1)).
Then, the program returns to the state waiting for the external signal input again,
and the grinding operation is performed along the X-axis. The grinding from the
position B to the position C (operation (2)) and return from the position C to the
position B (operation (3)) are performed. If the sensor detects the grinding wheel when
it returns to the B point again and the external signal is input, the cutting is
performed by α and it moves to the position D (operation (4)). The grinding operation
is performed along the X-axis in the position D.
After that, every time an external signal is input, cutting is performed by a specified
amount α along the programmed profile. And the workpiece is ground and shapes into
the profile of the above figure.
