GRINDING LINE: MEASURE

MEASURE APPLICATIONS FOR GRINDERS

In the increasingly competitive world of manufacturing cost control is a must, therefore increasing efficiency is the key to profits. The ideal situation would be having a real time monitoring of the running grinding process. The main parameters monitored to properly produce parts in the quantities and with the quality required are: part size, process trend, tool wear, part shape, feed rate, cycle time. Monitoring these parameters by means of an automatic real time gauging system a optimal grinding process is performed.

The real time gauging system allows:

• Machine productivity increase thanks to the continuous checking of the machining cycle
• Quality increase of unattended grinding process
• Longer wheel life thanks to the removal speed checking
• Collisions prevention due to extreme stock removal.
