Gin blade sharpening system and method of use

A gin blade sharpening system for sharpening a blade disk with improved manufacturing characteristics and higher quality output of said blade disk, wherein:

• said gin blade sharpening system comprises two or more grinding stations, a controller, and one or more upper grinders;
• said one or more upper grinders comprise at least a first upper grinder;
• said two or more grinding stations comprise at least a first grinding station and a second grinding station;
• each among said two or more grinding stations comprise a clamp assembly configured to selectively hold said blade disk in a substantially horizontal position;
• a portion of said one or more upper grinders are configured to sharpen an outer perimeter edge of said blade disk using an abrasive pad;
• said controller is configured to selectively operate said two or more grinding stations, said one or more upper grinders, and one or more lower grinders using a device program;
• each among said one or more upper grinders comprises an upper grinder motor, said abrasive pad, and a vertical movement assembly;
• said upper grinder motor is configured to selectively drive said abrasive pad;
• a mounting bracket is configured to receive and hold said upper grinder motor with said abrasive pad on said vertical movement assembly;
• each among said one or more upper grinders are adjusted to a pitch relative to a blank to adjust a grind angle in a sharpened edge of said blank;
• said upper grind angle of said one or more upper grinders are adjusted automatically or by adjusting a mounting position of said upper grinder motor to accomplish said upper grind angle;
• said mounting bracket is configured to move in a z-direction on said vertical movement assembly to adjust a height and engagement of said abrasive pad with said blank;
• by moving said one or more upper grinders in an x-direction, a y-direction and said z-direction, said gin blade sharpening system is configured to grind a top surface at said outer perimeter edge using different parts of each of said one or more upper grinders;
• the portions of said one or more upper grinders which touch said blade disk during grinding are referred to as a plurality of upper abrasive grinding points;
• said one or more upper grinders are configured to move to alter the location of said plurality of upper abrasive grinding points;
• said one or more upper grinders are configured to rotate around a spinning axis;
• a distance between said spinning axis and an outer edge of said one or more upper grinders comprises an interfacing portion of said one or more upper grinders;
• said gin blade sharpening system further comprises said one or more lower grinders;
• said one or more lower grinders are positioned relative to said clamp assembly for use on a bottom surface and said outer perimeter edge of said blank;
• said controller is configured to track and alter a plurality of lower abrasive grinding points of said one or more lower grinders to preserve said one or more lower grinders;
• and
• by measuring usage of said abrasive pad and move said one or more lower grinders to ensure even wear of said abrasive pad throughout all of said plurality of lower abrasive grinding points.
