Abstract
A method for grinding a workpiece with a toothing or a profile, in which, in a single workpiece clamping operation in the grinding machine, the toothing or the profile is pre-machined using a rough-grinding tool in a first step and then the toothing or the profile is finished using a smooth-grinding tool in a second step. Simultaneously with the first working step, the toothing or the profile is measured by at least one sensor, wherein a geometric variable defining the toothing or the profile or a variable linked to the geometry is measured, and wherein the deviation of the measured geometric variable or of the variable linked to the geometry is determined from a target value in the machine control.
Claims6
A method for grinding a workpiece with a toothing or a profile, wherein in the grinding machine in a single workpiece clamping in a first working step the toothing or the profile is pre-machined with a rough-grinding tool and subsequently in a second working step the toothing or the profile is finish-machined with a finishing grinding tool, wherein simultaneously with the first working step, the toothing or the profile is measured by means of at least one sensor, wherein a geometric variable determining the toothing or the profile or a variable connected to the geometry is measured, and wherein the deviation of the measured geometric variable or the variable connected to the geometry from a setpoint value is determined in the machine control, wherein a dressable grinding wheel or a dressable grinding worm is used at least as rough-grinding tool, wherein the machine control initiates a dressing operation for the rough-grinding tool if the deviation between the measured geometric variable and its setpoint value is above a predetermined limit, wherein the measured geometric variable is the tooth width or the spherical measure of the toothing.
