Publication number: 20160045996Abstract: An apparatus for grinding an elongated workpiece having a plurality of outer surfaces of revolution all centered on a common workpiece axis has a frame and a chuck on the frame for orienting the workpiece with the workpiece axis vertical and for rotating the workpiece about the workpiece axis. Two grinder drive motors on the frame diametrally flank the workpiece axis, are displaceable horizontally and radially of the workpiece axis, and each have a downwardly extending respective vertical drive shaft rotatable about a respective shaft axis, carrying a respective set of at least two vertically and axially spaced grinding wheels, and each having an unsupported and unbraced lower end. The grinders are displaced in respective diametrally opposite horizontal and radial directions for engaging the grinding wheels with the surfaces of the rotating workpiece grinder, such that all the surfaces of the workpiece can be ground simultaneously.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2015Publication date: February 18, 2016Inventor: Roland SCHMITZ

Patent number: 9050708Abstract: A grinding wheel assembly has a support disk centered on an axis and having an outer edge and a pair of axially opposite faces. An annular abrasive ring is juxtaposed with the outer edge, and a flexible hinge formation joins the ring to the outer edge of the disk at one of the faces. An actuator body of controlledly radially variable dimension joins the ring to outer edge of the disk at the other of the faces for deforming the ring and flexing the hinge formation so as to vary a shape of an outer face of the ring radially of the axis. Thus with this system the exact shape of the outer face of the abrasive ring can be controlled remotely. The control can be very accurate, and can be monitored by sensors in a feedback system to ensure exact position of the outer ring surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2013Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: EMAG HOLDING GMBHInventor: Roland Schmitz

Patent number: 8647176Abstract: A workpiece having a planar face the workpiece is rotated about a workpiece axis substantially perpendicular to the planar workpiece face, and a grinding disk centered on a disk axis is rotated about the disk axis. The disk has an annular planar disk face perpendicular to and centered on the disk axis and an annular frustoconical disk face extending from an edge of the planar disk face, centered on the disk axis, and angled inward from the planar disk face. A portion of the annular face is oriented perpendicular to the workpiece axis and pressed against the planar workpiece face to premachine most of the planar workpiece face. Thereafter the disk is pivoted and oriented parallel the planar workpiece face to finish machine the planar workpiece face with the planar disk face.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2011Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Emag Holding GmbHInventor: Roland Schmitz

Publication number: 20130045665Abstract: An apparatus for grinding an elongated workpiece having a plurality of outer surfaces of revolution all centered on a common workpiece axis has a frame and means such as a headstock and tailstock for rotating the workpiece about the workpiece axis. Two grinders on the frame diametrally flank the workpiece axis and are displaceable radially of the workpiece axis. They each have a respective set of axially spaced grinding wheels. Actuator means serves for displacing the grinders in respective diametrally opposite directions for engaging the grinding wheels with the surfaces of the rotating workpiece grinder. The axial spacing and dimensions of the wheels correspond to the axial spacing and dimensions of the surfaces such that all the surfaces of the workpiece can be ground simultaneously.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2012Publication date: February 21, 2013Inventor: Roland SCHMITZ

Patent number: 5251405Abstract: A method serves for circumferential grinding of radially non-circular workpieces, in particular for grinding cams (15) or polygons. The workpiece is rotated about a first second axis (13) extending at an angle, preferably of 90.degree., relative to the first axis (18). Starting out from a raw contour, the material at the surface of the workpiece (15) is removed along spiral-shaped paths of a point of action (20), by a plurality of steps corresponding each to one rotation of the workpiece, until intermediate contours and finally a finished contour are obtained, this being achieved by rotating and/or advancing the workpiece and the grinding wheel (11) in a controlled way, in response to data records. Every time an intermediate contour is reached, a new data record is called up for the next rotation of the workpiece. One measures continuously a predetermined absolute dimension (R.sub.Gist) of the workpiece and derives therefrom the existing deviation (.increment.R.sub.G) from a given setpoint value (R.sub.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1991Date of Patent: October 12, 1993Assignee: Fortuna-Werke Maschinenfabrik GmbHInventors: Siegbert Clauss, Peter Meusburger, Stefan Brandt, Roland Schmitz, Gerhard Walz
