Abstract: The invention relates to a centerless cylindrical grinding machine (100) for throughfeed and plunge grinding of arbitrary workpieces comprising a first drivable positioning axis XS for a grinding headstock (10) with a grinding wheel (11) rotatable about an axis of rotation (12) and a second drivable positioning axis XR for a regulating wheel headstock (20) with a regulating wheel (21) rotatable about an axis of rotation (22), and a workpiece support (32) arrangeable substantially between the grinding headstock (10) and the regulating wheel headstock (20), wherein a further drivable positioning axis YW, extending orthogonal to at least one of the positioning axes XS and XR, is mounted for a carriage (31) on a carriage track (30), via which the workpiece support (32) is movable, wherein the grinding headstock (10) and the regulating wheel headstock (20) are arranged in a first area (41) of a machine bed (40) and the carriage track (30) is at least partially arranged in a second area (42) of the machine bed (40)

Abstract: A method and device for simultaneous centerless cylindrical grinding of multiple workpieces (11, 12, 13, 14), at least sections of which are rotationally symmetrical, the workpieces are arranged on a support apparatus (200) one behind the other between at least one grinding wheel (110) and at least one regulating wheel (120), and wherein the axis of rotation of the regulating wheel is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane extending parallel to the workpiece axes of rotation and the grinding wheel axis of rotation by an inclination angle (?). During grinding the workpieces are arranged with a height offset relative to each other corresponding to at least a quarter of the inclination angle (?) of the axis of rotation of the regulating wheel with respect to the parallel plane to render the respective bearing angles (?) of the workpieces on the inclined regulating wheel consistent.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a centerless cylindrical grinding machine with a grinding wheel and a regulating wheel that can be laterally displaced toward a work piece that can be held between these wheels, and with a rest blade for supporting the work piece that is realized rigid in the vertical direction and arranged and dimensioned such that a rotational axis of the work piece and a rotational axis of the grinding wheel lie in a common plane, wherein a height adjustment of the rotational axis of the regulating wheel beyond the plane is kinematically decoupled from the lateral displacement of the regulating wheel and can be varied in order to position the regulating wheel on the supported work piece.

Abstract: A grinding machine for grinding work pieces between centers, as well as for centerless grinding, features a drive for a grinding wheel and a drive for a regulating wheel. The work piece can be supported between the grinding wheel and the regulating wheel either between centers on a work piece axis or on a rest for centerless grinding. The driving axis of the regulating wheel and the work piece axis are parallel, and the wheels can be adjusted relative to the work piece independently of one another. The drive of the regulating wheel serves for driving the work piece while grinding between centers or for driving the work piece during centerless grinding. In addition, a means for measuring the contact pressure of the regulating wheel on the work piece is provided for grinding between centers. This means may consist, for example, of a pressure sensor.

Abstract: A grinding machine for grinding work pieces (3) between centers, as well as for centerless grinding, features a drive for a grinding wheel (1) and a drive for a regulating wheel (2). The work piece (3) can be supported between the grinding wheel (1) and the regulating wheel (2) either between centers on a work piece axis (W) or on a rest for centerless grinding. The driving axis of the regulating wheel (2) and the work piece axis (W) are aligned parallel and the grinding wheel (1) and the regulating wheel (2) can be adjusted relative to the work piece (3) independently of one another. The drive of the regulating wheel (2) serves for driving the work piece (3) while grinding between centers (4) or for driving the work piece (3) during centerless grinding. In addition, a means for measuring the contact pressure of the regulating wheel on the work piece is provided for grinding between centers (4). This means may consist, for example, of a pressure sensor (8).

Abstract: A centerless cylindrical grinding machine, for through-feed and in-feed grinding of various workpieces (8), has a first driven positioning axis XS for a grinding spindle head (2) with a grinding wheel (1) and a second driven positioning axis XR, running parallel to the positioning axis XS, for a regulating spindle head (4), with a regulating wheel (3). The positioning axes XS and XR are arranged perpendicular to the rotation axes (5, 6) or the grinding wheel (1) and the regulating wheel (3). A workpiece support (7) on a carriage (12) and an inner- or outer-acting wheel-true device (9) are arranged between the grinding spindle head (2) and the regulating spindle head (4). During operation, the grinding spindle head (2), the regulating spindle head (4), the workpiece support (7) and the wheel-true device (9) are located within a safety housing (15).
