Cycles
4.3 Special characteristics of grinding cycles
A tool length compensation must be selected before the cycle is called. It is always effective
in the selected level and remains active even after the end of the cycle.
Types of grinding wheels
The cycles support two types of grinding wheels: vertical and inclined wheels.
During machining, the wheel feeds only in X or Z direction.
The use of measuring devices and sensors
When grinding, the following measuring devices/sensors can be used:
● 1st measuring probe
● Measuring control
● Structure-borne noise
Using a swiveling measuring probe, a longitudinal position in Z is detected. This axis position
is stored on a parameter and aids in calculating the errors that occur in the compensation for
each workpiece.
Measurement control is performed at the same time as the grinding machining on the work-
piece diameter. It implements the switching over of the feedrate or the defining of the end
position at the measuring coordinates in X for roughing, finishing and fine finishing.
The structure-borne noise sensor implements the feedrate stop when the workpiece diame-
ter sparkles. Time-optimized approach conditions are created.
