12 Claims. (01. 51-5) workpieces to precise limits, and to do so repetitively over long periods of operation. Inasmuch as the grinding wheel wears off when used, at a greater or lesser rate depending on the type of wheel and the bonding employed therein, it is essential that the wheel be repeatedly dressed to the exact cross section of the workpiece. I
The dressing of a wheel may be accomplished by a diamond dressing tool or by an exceedingly hard metallic dressing member or by av process which is known as crush forming or crush dressing. The crush dressing process consists of forming a metallic roll to have a section conforming to the section of the workpiece to be ground and to shape the wheel thereby by bringing the two together under a predetermined pressure, and thereafter rotating the two together at a reduced speed. The pressure of the metal roll on the wheel breaks the bonding at the surface thereof so that the wheel assumesa shape which is complementary to the shape of the roll. workpieces which are then ground with the wheel exhibit a high degree of accuracy and have an exceedingly fine finish thereon. The operation of crush dressing may be performed after every work cycle, or after several work cyclesdepending upon the closeness of the limits within which the workpiece must be produced.
The roll employed in the dressing operation is preferably of a relatively hard metal such as a carbon steel but need not be tool hard in order to produce good results or to have long life. Preferably, the roll is of sufficient hardness that it can be readily machine worked to the contour desired before being placed into operation.
After a roll has been employed in dressing a wheel fora period of time, the roll wears to the point where the dressing of the wheel does not bring it to within the proper tolerance limit. At this time, the roll must be reworked or replaced in order to produce further workpieces of the requisite size.
The reworking of the rolls is an operation requiring a high degree of skill and special machinery and, in many instances where this advantageous method of dressing a wheel could be employed, the available facilities are not suflicient to maintain the crushing rolls in proper condition.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide an improved method and apparatus for crush dressing arrangements wherein the roll may be maintained in operation for a substantially longer period of time than is usually possible.
Another object is to provide a method and apparatus for reworking a crush dressing roll in its working position.
Still another object is to provide a method of an apparatus for reworking a crush dressing roll Without removing it from the grinding machine in which it is used and to maintain the accuracy of the roll while accomplishing this.
These and other objects and advantages become more apparent upon reference to the following specification taken together with the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a grinding machine equipped with the apparatus of, and being adapted for practicing the method of this invention;
Figure 2 is a plan view taken substantially on the line 2--2 of Figure 1 and shows the device which supports the crushing roll;
Figure 3 is a section indicated by the line 33 on Figure 2 and shows a vertical section through the crush dressing device;
Figure 4 is a diagrammatic view showing a modified arrangement for maintaining the crushing roll in condition;
Figures 5 and 6 are views of another modification;
Figure 7 is a plan view showing a crush dressing device according to this invention in which the dressing roll and its driving motor may be selectively clutched or unclutched;
Figure 8 is a diagrammatic view showing a low speed drive for the grinding wheel; and
Figure 9 is a section taken along the line 9-9 on Figure 8 and showing an overrunning clutch mechanism.
General arrangement According to this invention, there is provided in connection with a grinding machine a crushing roll which has a cross-sectional configuration identical with that of theworkpiece which is to be ground. The crushing roll may have means associated therewith, such as a motor, for driving it at low speed, or it may be freely rotatable on a shaft and the grinding wheel have the low speed driving means. In either case, the dressing of the wheel is accomplished by bringing the wheel against the roll while both are stationary, thereafter driving the two together at the same low surface speed while exerting a pressure therebetween.
The pressure exerted between the wheel and the roll breaks the bonding of the Wheel at the surface and it assumes an average cross-sectional configuration complementary to that of the roll.
Thereafter, a work cycle, or several work cycles, may be performed and the wheel again dressed.
According to this invention, after the roll has worn a predetermined amount, or after each dressing operation, the original outline of the roll is restored by a shaving operation accomplished b a properly formed shaving tool which is so supported that itcan be moved against the roll in fine adjustment. Such a shaving tool has a long life and can be restored to its original accuracy by a truing cut with a grinding wheel.
Optionally, a pair of rolls may be provided, one of which may be referred to as the production dressing roll and which is employed for the routine dressing of the wheel. The other of the rolls may be designated as the master dressing roll and is only employed at intervals for the purpose of truing the wheel, whereupon the trued wheel may be utilized for grinding the production rolls to shape. In an arrangement of this type, the shaving tool is preferably associated with the master dressing roll. A system of this type has exceedingly long service life inasmuch as it is only necessary to dress the wheel by the master dressing roll at long intervals, and it is only necessary to perform a light shaving operation to maintain the master dressing roll in condition.
Structural arrangement Referring to the drawings, there is shown in Figure l a grinding machine having a reciprocable bed at l which mounts a chuck l2 that may support a workpiece H1 in any suitable and well known manner.
Rigidly mounted adjacent the base on which the bed reciprocates is a column is which receives in vertical adjustability a saddle l8 that supports a wheelhead 20. The wheelhead is transversely reciprocable in the saddle l8 and carries a grinding wheel 22 which is driven in rotation by any suitable motor means such as an electric motor.
Mounted on the bed ID at one end thereof is a dressing device generally indicated by the numeral 24 and better shown in Figures 2 and 3.
In Figures 2 and 3 it will be seen that the dressing device 24 consists of a bed 26 to be secured to the grinder bed l0 and an auxiliary bed or table 28 which is pivoted to the bed 26 as by the pivot bolts 39. The end of the bed 26 opposite the pivots 3e includes an eccentric shaft 32 which bears on a pad 34 on the auxiliary bed 28. A locking bolt 36 having the nut 38 extends through the beds and locks them in any position of adjustment.
The adjustment of the beds relatively is preferably such that the grinding wheel need not be altered in elevation in order properly to engage both the work to be ground and the dressing roll ofthe dressing device.
Mounted on the auxiliary bed 28 are the bearing blocks All which carry the anti-friction bearings 42 which journal the shaft 44. Keyed and clamped to the shaft 44 between the bearing blocks is a dressing roll 46 which E D erably metal and more preferably still of a carbon steel somewhat less than tool hard.
One end of the shaft 44 has keyed thereto the pulley 48 over which passes a belt 50 which also extends over a pulley 52 on the output shaft 54 of a geared head motor 56. The motor 56 is carried on the auxiliar bed 28 so that adjustment of the angularity of the beds does not effect the driving of the dressing r011 by the motor.
Also mounted on the bed 28 is a mechanism generally indicated at 58 which comprises the base 60 which reciprocably receives the slide 62. The screw 64 which engages the slide 62, passes through the end wall of the bed 60 and has connected therewith the knurled handwheel 66 and graduated dial 68. The slide 62 has rigidly secured thereto a tool in which, as seen in Figure 2 has a configuration complementary to that of the roll 46. On reference to Figure 3, it will be noted that the tool 10 is presented to the roll 46 substantially on the center line thereof and that there is substantially no angle of rake on the said tool. Thus, as the tool is urged against the wheel, metal is removed from the roll by a cutting action which is properly termed shaving. By shaving the roll rather than cutting the configuration of the tool is accurately transferred to the roll while the finish of the roll is greatly superior to that which would result if it were attempted to present the tool 10 thereto with an angle of rack sufficient to perform a cutting operation. Also, by the arrangement shown, the entire width of the dressing roll is renewed at one time and with a minimum of material being removed.
A typical grinding work cycle would comprise the grinding of a workpiece, the dressing of the wheel, and the shaving of the roll during the next grinding operation. Optionally, the wheel may be dressed at intervals of several grinding operations if the work is of a nature which will permit. Also, optionally, the shaving of the roll may be done at intervals of several dressing operations, this also depending upon the nature of the work being operated and the degree of accuracy desired.
Figure 4, there is shown an arrangement wherein, in addition to the production dressing roll 46 there is a master dressing roll 12 which may be supported on the bed I!) wherever desired but which is shown in the drawings as being at the end of the bed opposite the production roll 46.
In Figure 4, the wheel 22 is trued up at intervals by the master roll 72 and utilized for grinding the production roll to its original configuration. Thereafter. the wheel is dressed by the roll 46 until the said roll has worn to the point where it is necessary that it be ground. It will be seen that the usage of the master roll 72 is considerably less than that of the production roll 46. Accordingly, by locating the shaving device 58 to operate on the master roll 12, the length life of the tool '59 is greatly increased and production runs of substantially greater length may be made while maintaining the same accuracy of the workpiece.
An alternative method of supporting the shaving tool is shown in Figures 5 and 6. In these views the dressing roll is indicated at '14 and the shaving tool at 76. The tool 16 is formed with the configuration of the roll running lengthwise and is secured to a wedge member 78 and is reciprocable vertically in the frame 80. Recip- 'rocable" transversely'in theframe 8B is a second wedge 82 which is adjusted by the screw 84. In the arrangement shown in Figures 5 and 6, the tool 16 is elevated vertically to bring it into shaving engagement with the roll 14. After a shaving operation, the tool '16 may be lowered and the roll is then ready for dressing a wheel.
A still further modification is illustrated in Figure '7 wherein the dressing roll may be selectively clutched or unclutched from its driving motor. The parts in Figure 7 which correspond to those in Figures 2 and 3 are. correspondingly numbered with the addition of a subscript c. In Figure 7, the shaft Mia is separated between the bearing block Mia and the pulley 48a, tional bearing block 40b may be provided in order to journal an end of the shaft 44a adjacent the pulley 48a. Carried on one part of the shaft a is a clutch portion 86 which is selectively engageable by the clutch portion 88 slidably keyed to the other portion of the shaft Ma. The lever 90 may be provided which may be actuated to engage or disengage the clutch halves. When the roll 36a is to be shaved by the tool 1011, the clutch halves are engaged so that the roll is driven by its motor 55a. When the wheel is to be dressed the clutch halves are disengaged, the wheel and roll broughttogether and driven in rotation by driving the wheel at low speed.
Forthe purpose of so driving the wheel, there is provided the arrangement shown in Figures 8 and 9: In these views the wheel 22a is carried on a shaft 92 which is driven by the high speed motor. The shaft 92 at the other end of the motor is connected to a clutch mechanism 9-3 with the low speed output shaft $6 of the geared head motorgenerally indicated at 98..
The clutch 94 is indicated in section in Figure 9 and will be seen to comprise a notched portion I00 connected with the shaft 96 and a cylinder I02 connected with the shaft 92. The rollers I04 and the notches in the member I00 provide a driving connection between the said member and the cylinder I02 when the member is driven counterclockwise but permit free relative rotation of the member and cylinder when the member is driven clockwise or when the cylinder is driven counterclockwise at a greater speed than the said member.
In the case of large wheels and heavy drive motors, it is preferably to drive the wheel by a low speed motor during dressing, and to drive the roll therethrough because it eliminates the possibility of the wheel slipping on the roll and causing theroll to wear rapidly.
It will be seen that this invention provides 'for an improved method and apparatus for maintaining grinding wheels in condition to produce accurate workpieces. This invention furthermore materially extends the life of any setup and, incertain instances where the work is light, the original setup may be employed throughout the job.
It will be understood that this invention is susceptible tomodification in order to adopt it to different usages and conditions and, accordingly, it is desired to comprehend such modifications within this invention as may fall within the scope of the appended claims.
