  • the delivery of the grinding wheels thus takes place only in the direction perpendicular to the X-direction.
  • the workpieces have two end faces lying parallel to one another and an outer contour of length "L" lying preferably perpendicular thereto, wherein the length L may be greater or smaller than the effective diameter of the end face.
  • rod-shaped and disk-shaped workpieces are included, whose cross-section / outer contour can be arbitrary.

  • the grinding wheels carry on the inner sides facing each other abrasive coatings for roughing and subsequent finishing, which come in succession by moving the grinding spindle in the feed direction (X-axis).
  • the distance of the finishing areas of the grinding wheels corresponds to the grinding dimension of the workpiece to be machined.
  • the outer contours of the workpiece are generated by non-circular grinding, for which purpose a second grinding spindle is pivoted into the processing position.
  • the first grinding spindle for double grinding which sits on the same pivotable housing as the second grinding spindle, is hereby swung out of the processing area. After machining the outer contour of the finished workpiece is removed, and the next workpiece is brought into the position for the double grinding of the end faces, for which the first grinding spindle must be swung again and delivered.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to make the method and the grinding machine of the type mentioned so that a reduction of the cycle time takes place, and so an improved economic mass production is achieved in conjunction with a very good grinding result.

  • the sides in contact with the workpiece are preferably adapted to the outer shape of a workpiece blank in order to keep it safe for transport through the grinding machine and for grinding.
  • the Beladegreifer are dimensioned so that both end sides of the workpiece protrude laterally from them, so that their grinding is possible without hindrance. They must also be shaped so that they are able to take also finished workpieces and to hold for transport to an unloading point.
  • the workpiece is transferred to a first processing area in which at least the finish grinding of the two end faces takes place.
  • the end faces in this clamping are pre-ground and finished.
  • a separate pre-grinding is not always necessary at this point.
  • the double surface grinding leads to an excellent result on the front sides.
  • the still clamped, so located in the first clamping workpiece is then transferred by means of a movement of the holding device between two coaxially spaced clamping jaws and clamped by these at its ends, which are already finished and thus the best conditions for a precise Offer further processing.
  • each rotational position of the workpiece rotated by the two clamping jaws corresponds to a specific distance of the grinding wheel in the direction of the X-axis.
  • the longitudinal contour of the workpiece can also be designed differently. Examples are in the FIG. 2 of the embodiment. This different longitudinal contour also includes frontal bevels and rounding.
  • the holding device is further clocked, i. rotated by a predetermined by the number of clamping points (at least 3, preferably 4, 5 or 6) predetermined angular amount ⁇ , and brings the finished workpiece in an unloading position where it is transferred to a discharge device.

  • a further acceleration can result from the fact that both workpieces are ground in the machining positions at least temporarily at the same time, which is readily possible for certain outer contours of the workpieces.
  • At least a simultaneous processing of two workpieces for shorter periods in the processing cycle can be achieved, such that the finish grinding of the end faces in the first processing position overlaps in time with the beginning of the non-circular grinding in the second processing position.

  • the double-plan grinding of the end faces of the workpiece can also take place in such a way that the holding device, which carries the workpiece clamped, is moved relative to the first grinding wheel, the double grinding wheel, in the sense of a feed.
  • This movement takes place in the case of a rotatable holding device, for. B. in the form of a timing disc, preferably as a rotation.
  • the movement can also be realized as a linear displacement of the holding device.

It thus has no contact with the holding device and can - be rotated on the long sides - set by the second clamping device in rotation.
  • This decoupling of the relevant workpiece from the holding device makes it possible to move the holding device, which carries a further workpiece whose end faces are to be processed, in such a way that the further workpiece enters the grinding region of the first grinding wheel and is finish ground therefrom.
  • This double-plan grinding takes place in this modification of the method substantially simultaneously with the non-circular grinding of the outer contour of the first-mentioned workpiece.
  • the two grinding wheels are arranged according to a particularly preferred embodiment of claim 3 in tandem on a common wheelhead, it follows inevitably that the first grinding wheel follows the movement of the second grinding wheel in non-circular grinding.
  • this has no significance for the double-plan grinding according to the method variant described, since the range of motion is only slight and the movement takes place only very slowly compared to the rotational speed of the first grinding wheel. The grinding result of the first grinding wheel is not affected by this.
  • the method can also be performed at this point so that the workpiece remains stationary in its position and the first grinding wheel in the longitudinal and transverse directions to the workpiece is movable.
  • the method of the grinding wheel in the longitudinal direction is preferably used for adjusting the grinding wheels with respect to the workpiece or with respect to the position of the second grinding wheel for machining the outer contour.

  • two grinding wheels with a common axis of rotation can be mounted on a single grinding spindle. In this way, various grinding operations can be performed on a single workpiece without the need to change the clamping. For the transition from one to the other grinding operation, however, the workpiece must be moved laterally, and it can always be ground only a single workpiece in its unchanged setting. The processing time is too long.
  • the special feature of this grinding machine is that two grinding spindles with parallel axes of rotation are mounted on a wheelhead in a "tandem arrangement", the two grinding spindles are arranged not only side by side, but also one above the other and with fixed parallel spindle axes and together by the wheelhead in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the workpieces are movable.

  • the grinding machine according to claim 10 also has the advantage that each several rod-shaped workpieces are transported and processed simultaneously by the machine, which are ground flat in the first clamping position on the front sides and machined in the second clamping position on the long sides by circumferential grinding. After passing through the grinding machine, the rod-shaped workpieces are finished ground. The handling times are reduced to a minimum.

Also in this respect, the accuracy of the result is thus improved by the invention at the same time as the speed of processing.
  • the claim 12 relates to the advantageous and preferred embodiment of the drive of the timing disc, which is drivable both in the forward direction and in the opposite reverse direction. This makes it possible to achieve a substantially simultaneous grinding operation of both grinding wheels on a respective workpiece, which leads to a particularly short cycle time for the complete machining of the workpieces, as described below with reference to FIG 10 and 11 is explained.

Fig. 2d , In particular, it is also possible to grind face-side bevels 2a or rounding 2b on the rod-shaped workpiece 1 in a contoured outline and in the same clamping at the same time as the grinding of the longitudinal sides 3.
  • the peripheral contour 15b of the second grinding wheel 15 must be shaped accordingly, cf. Fig. 2b ,
  • the holding device 6 fulfills alternating tasks in the course of the method according to the invention. It initially serves as a transport device that conveys rod-shaped workpieces 1 into the effective range of the first grinding wheel 14. There it also serves as a clamping device, which ensures the first clamping of the rod-shaped workpiece 1 during grinding of the end faces 2. Thereafter, the holding device 6 again serves as a conveying means, which the rod-shaped workpiece 1 in the region of the two clamping jaws 8a, 8b according to the second processing position 42 according to FIG. 4 transferred. The clamping in the second clamping for performing the peripheral grinding is then taken over by the clamping jaws 8a, 8b.
  • the holding device 6 transports the finished ground workpiece 1 further to a discharge position, from where it can be removed from an unloading device, not shown.
  • the thus released clamping point can then be equipped with a new workpiece blank, which is preferably done by means of a arranged in a near its own loading position 43 loading device.
  • a further embodiment of the invention is shown, in which the individual clamping points 40 of the timing disc 6b are provided with bezels 50 as means for supporting the workpiece 1 during the processing of the outer contour by means of the second grinding wheel 15.
  • the bezel 50 forming component is provided on the timing disk 6b, which is brought in apart driven jaws 24a of the loading gripper 24 in contact with the held by the clamping jaws 8a, 8b and rotatably driven workpiece 1.
  • This component has, on the front side facing the workpiece 1, a substantially semicircular recess 51 adapted to the dimensions of the workpiece 1, as shown in the side view Fig. 8 is shown.
  • the workpiece 1 is always supported at least at one point of its outer contour during rotation about its longitudinal axis in the C direction at least in the central region. hereby Bending of the workpiece 1 is prevented under the influence of the grinding pressure, so that a particularly high grinding accuracy and higher Zerspanvolumen can be achieved.
  • Fig. 9 is a plan view of the arrangement according to Fig. 8 which shows a cross section through the serving as a bezel 50 component. It can be seen in this illustration that the inner contour of the component can be formed crowned, so that essentially only a point or line contact of the bezel 50 can take place with the workpiece 1 in its central region. This results in a minimal impairment of the rotation of the workpiece 1 and a reduction in the risk of scoring or other damage to the workpiece.
  • the reference numerals in the 8 and 9 have the same meaning as in the other figures.
  • the lunettes according to the invention are of in the FIGS. 8 and 9 Control devices, not shown, which are hydraulically, pneumatically or controlled by electrical adjusting devices brought into contact with the workpiece 1 or removed from this, as explained in detail in connection with the claims 8 and 9.
  • the required movements of the steady rests 50 result from the requirements of the respective method used.
  • the peripheral grinding described here offers a particular advantage when the rod-shaped workpiece 1 has a transversely layered structure, as is valuable for some applications. It can therefore be provided alternately firmly connected layers of different materials in the workpiece 1. In contrast to longitudinal plan grinding, the materials of the individual layers in the area of the side surfaces are not smeared together during circumferential grinding.
  • FIG. 10 shows a first phase of the process control according to the invention, in which the double-plan grinding of the end faces of the workpiece 1, 1 'by movement of the holding device 6 takes place.
  • This variant of the method corresponds to the second alternative in claim 2, features c2).
  • this embodiment of the method it is possible to work two workpieces 1 and 1 'substantially simultaneously.
  • the opened clamping jaws 24a do not come into conflict with the second grinding wheel 15 even when the clock disk 6b carrying them rotates in a limited angular range.
  • the timing disk 6b is thus freely movable while the first workpiece 1 is ground by the grinding wheel 15 on the circumference.
  • Another workpiece 1 ' is fixedly clamped to the timing disk 6b by means of the associated clamping jaws 24b and is located shortly before engagement with the first grinding disk 14, by means of which the two end faces 2 are to be ground flat. This is done so that the timing disk 6b is rotated forward until the in Fig. 11 shown state is reached, in which the further workpiece 1 'is finished ground on the front sides.
  • the timing disk 6b is turned backwards so far that the first workpiece 1, which has been finished in the second machining position 42, can again be gripped by the clamping jaws 24a.
  • This is essentially the same as in Fig. 10 illustrated state.
  • the unloading position 43 not shown (s. Fig. 4 ), which is done by rotating the timing disc 6b in the forward direction A.
  • the other workpiece 1 ' is in this case moved from the first processing position 41 to the second processing position 42, where it is in turn the finishing by circumferential grinding of the longitudinal sides 3 is supplied.
  • the first workpiece 1 'passes in the described method inevitably several times the range of action of the first grinding wheel 14.
  • the first driving through is relatively slow in the forward direction A for double-plan grinding of the two end faces 2.
  • the further workpiece 1' once again passes through the first grinding wheel 14 therethrough to bring the timing disk 6b to the take-up position for the finish-ground first workpiece 1.
  • the further workpiece 1 ' is again moved forward in order to transfer the further workpiece 1', which has been ground to completion on the end faces 2, into the second processing position 42.
  • the first grinding wheel 14 has substantially no abrasive effect on the workpiece 1 ', since this is already finished.
  • the wheelhead 10 can also be moved in the X-direction (see FIG. 2) for the short time of the return rotation and forward rotation of the timing disk 6b. Fig. 4 ) are removed from the grinding position so far that the two grinding wheels 14, 15 come to lie outside the path of movement of the workpieces. As a result, any negative influence on the workpiece 1 during transport is excluded.
  • both grinding wheels 14 and 15 at the same time each work a workpiece 1, 1 ' results from the above-described prior art and also with respect to the previously with reference to the Fig. 5A and 5B explained process control, in which only a grinding, but no return movement takes place, a considerable time gain.
  • This time saving is in particular that none of the grinding wheels has 14 and 15 idle times, which are due to the waiting for the finish grinding by means of the respective other grinding wheel.
  • Both grinding wheels 14, 15 are practically - except for relatively short transport and Umspann instruments for the workpieces 1, 1 '- constantly in use.
  • the lateral and vertical distance of the axis 14c of the first grinding spindle 12 from the axis 15a of the second grinding spindle 13 in the tandem arrangement on the associated wheelhead 10 must be adapted to the special requirements in this procedure.
  • the two axes 14c and 15a have to move closer together in this case than in the other variant of the procedure according to the Fig. 5A and 5B in which for grinding only the grinding spindles 12, 13 are delivered, while the holding device 6 for the workpieces 1, here the timing disk 6b, is not moved in the sense of a delivery.
  • the distance of the axes 14c and 15a is to be chosen so that when transferring a workpiece 1 in the clamping jaws 8a, 8b of the second clamping another workpiece 1 'in the first clamping does not come into contact with the first grinding wheel 14, like this in Fig. 10 you can see.
