Abstract

Abstract A method for checking the cutting capacity and controlling the dressing of a grinding wheel including determining the value of at least one quantity representative of the flexion state and of the strains of the piece itself for every piece to be ground, combining the succeeding values and comparing the value resulting from the combination with a reference value. An apparatus comprising a device to measure the sizes of the pieces being machined, a threshold unit connected to the output of the device responsive to the device, a processing group containing an integrating and memory circuit to integrate and store signals for every piece being machined, a switch associated with the integrating and memory circuit and controlled by the threshold unit, a threshold circuit the input of which is connected to the switch and the output to the processing group and a threshold device to control dressing of the grinding wheel connected to the output of the processing group. The apparatus may include a program unit to set the values of the feed speed of the wheelhead, a unit to calculate stock removal speed and a unit to compare stock removal speed with programmed speed.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 69 words
A method for checking the cutting capacity of the grinding wheel of a grinder, comprising determining for every piece to be ground, at the end part of the relative machining cycle, the value of at least one quantity, representative of the flexion state and of the strains of the piece itself, combining the succeeding so determined values and comparing the value resulting from said combination with a reference value.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 69 words
A method for checking the cutting capacity of the grinding wheel of a grinder, comprising determining for every piece to be ground, at the end part of the relative machining cycle, the value of at least one quantity, representative of the flexion state and of the strains of the piece itself, combining the succeeding so determined values and comparing the value resulting from said combination with a reference value.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 34 words
The method according to claim 1, in which the quantity, representing the flexion state and strains, is the difference between a programmed feed speed of the grinding wheel and the real stock removal speed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 33 words
The method according to claim 1, in which the quantity, representing the flexion state and strains, corresponds to the intervals of time it takes to remove a pre-set stock value from the piece.
Claim 5
Independent Claim 80 words
A method for checking the cutting capacity of the grinding wheel of a grinder comprising the steps of: measuring the sizes of the workpieces during machining; generating a triggering signal at determined phases of the machining; using said triggering signal for initiating the evaluation of at least one quantity responsive to the flexion state and the strains of the workpieces; combining subsequent values of said quantity; and comparing the value resulting from the last step with a predetermined reference value.
Claim 6
Independent Claim 80 words
A method for checking the cutting capacity of the grinding wheel of a grinder comprising the steps of: measuring the sizes of the workpieces during machining; generating a triggering signal at determined phases of the machining; using said triggering signal for initiating the evaluation of at least one quantity responsive to the flexion state and the strains of the workpieces; combining subsequent values of said quantity; and comparing the value resulting from the last step with a predetermined reference value.
Claim 7
Independent Claim 88 words
A method for checking the cutting capacity of the grinding wheel of a grinder comprising the steps of: generating signals response to the dimensions of the workpieces being machined; using said signals for generating triggering signals when the workpieces reach determined dimensions; controlling by said triggering signals the carrying out of the evaluation of values responsive to the flexion state and the strains of the workpieces; combining subsequent values mentioned in the last step; and comparing the value resulting from the preceding step with a predetermined reference value.
Claim 8
Independent Claim 88 words
A method for checking the cutting capacity of the grinding wheel of a grinder comprising the steps of: generating signals response to the dimensions of the workpieces being machined; using said signals for generating triggering signals when the workpieces reach determined dimensions; controlling by said triggering signals the carrying out of the evaluation of values responsive to the flexion state and the strains of the workpieces; combining subsequent values mentioned in the last step; and comparing the value resulting from the preceding step with a predetermined reference value.
