Common grinding cycles Dressing Single point diamond dressing: Wheel rotating (surface speed v c ) Wheel traverses past diamond tip (crossfeed velocity v f ) Wheel infeeds an increment (infeed amount a d ) Repeat until wheel surface fully dressed Plunge grinding Workpiece / table positioned relative to wheel Wheel and workpiece rotating (v c and v w ) Wheel infeed at Rapid speed to start position (dia) Wheel infeed at Coarse feed to Fine Feed start position (dia) Wheel infeed at Fine feed to Final Size position (dia) Sparkout or Dwell with no infeed Traverse grinding Workpiece / table set to oscillate across wheel Wheel and workpiece rotating (v c and v w ) Wheel infeed at Rapid speed to start position (dia) Wheel infeed by Coarse increments to Fine Feed start position (dia) Wheel infeed at Fine feed to Final Size position (dia) Sparkout passes of wheel with no infeed A Low-Cost, Expandable Open-Architecture Grinding Machine Control System
