Patent number: 5477118Abstract: A numerical controller for a grinding machine, wherein one of plural reference sizing points is selected according to the contents of a numerical control program. Measured analog data indicating the diameter of a workpiece is received continuously to determine if the size of the machined workpiece coincides with the selected reference sizing point. Upon the coincidence of the size of the machined workpiece with the reference sizing point, a sizing signal is provided, and then machining control is changed in response to the sizing signal. An analog signal provided by a measuring device is sampled at a predetermined interval in a predetermined time. The analog signal is tested to see if the analog signal is in a predetermined range, which is decided based upon the temperature variation or vibrations of the grinding machine. And the result of the test is displayed to facilitate checking the output characteristics of the measuring device.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 1991Date of Patent: December 19, 1995Assignee: Toyoda Koki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takao Yoneda, Fumio Yamamoto, Yasuji Sakakibara, Naoki Arimoto, Yoji Yoshida, Chisato Banno
