Abstract
A grinding system includes a grinding device that meshes and synchronously rotates a gear-shaped workpiece and a grinding tool, thereby grinding a workpiece tooth surface of the workpiece with a helical grinding tooth surface of the grinding tool, an information acquisition unit configured to acquire information indicating a synchronization error between the workpiece and the grinding tool during grinding of the workpiece tooth surface, and a determination unit configured to determine, based on the synchronization error, whether an abnormality has occurred in the grinding of the workpiece tooth surface.
Claims10
A grinding system comprising:
- a grinding device that meshes and synchronously rotates a gear-shaped workpiece and a grinding tool, thereby grinding a workpiece tooth surface of the workpiece with a helical grinding tooth surface of the grinding tool;
- and
- a controller that includes one or more processors executing computer-executable instructions stored in a memory,
- wherein the one or more processors executes the computer-executable instructions to cause the controller to:
- acquire information indicating a synchronization error between the workpiece and the grinding tool during grinding of the workpiece tooth surface;
- and
- determine, based on the synchronization error, whether an abnormality has occurred in the grinding of the workpiece tooth surface.
A method for controlling a grinding system including a grinding device that meshes and synchronously rotates a gear-shaped workpiece and a grinding tool, thereby grinding a workpiece tooth surface of the workpiece with a helical grinding tooth surface of the grinding tool, the method comprising:
- acquiring a signal indicating a synchronization error between the workpiece and the grinding tool during grinding of the workpiece tooth surface;
- and
- determining, based on the synchronization error, whether an abnormality has occurred in the grinding of the workpiece tooth surface.
