Abstract: A truing device of a grinding machine includes: a truer that corrects a shape of a grinding wheel; a swivel table that supports the truer such that the truer is swivelable about a swivel axis Ac; detecting means for directly detecting a distance from a truing edge position of the truer, which contacts the grinding wheel during correction of the shape of the grinding wheel, to a swivel center O of the swivel table; and control means for controlling the truing edge position of the truer with respect to the grinding wheel based on the distance L detected by the detecting means to true the grinding wheel.

Abstract: A truing apparatus for a grinding wheel is provided with a truing tool which is held so as to rotate, and the grinding wheel which is rotating is subjected to truing by the truing tool. The truing tool includes a peripheral surface truer having a truer surface formed on its rotating peripheral surface, and an end surface truer having a truer surface formed on its end surface in a direction of a rotation axis thereof. The rotation axis of the truing tool is arranged substantially perpendicularly to a rotation axis of the grinding wheel so that an end surface of the grinding wheel may be corrected with the peripheral surface truer, and a peripheral surface of the grinding wheel may be corrected with the end surface truer.

Abstract: In a truing method and apparatus, an analyzing method is employed to calculate a truing shape from which a grinding surface having been trued with a grinding wheel being rotated at a low rotational speed during a truing operation is deformed to a desired shape due to centrifugal expansion depending on a rotational speed difference when the grinding wheel is rotated at a high rotational speed during a grinding operation. Then, with the grinding wheel being rotated at the low rotational speed, the grinding surface is trued with a truing roll to the calculated truing shape. As a result, the grinding surface of the grinding wheel being rotated at the low rotational speed is trued with the truing roll taking into consideration the centrifugal expansion of the grinding surface which takes place when the grinding wheel is rotatated at the high rotational speed during the grinding operation subsequent to the truing operation.
