9.3 Special characteristics of grinding cycles
Hardware requirements
Other hardware requirements must be met by the grinding machine to enable the use of
grinding cycles.
One or two handwheels are required for motion overlay during setup.
There must be connection options for the following external equipment:
● Acoustic emission sensor
● Measurement control
● Touch trigger probe
● 7 rapid inputs via MCPA for:
– Measurement control (5 inputs)
– Acoustic emission sensor (2 inputs)
Call and return conditions
The grinding cycles are programmed independently of the actual axis names. The collions-
free approach to the grinding position is to be done in the higher-level program before the
cycle is called.
The required values for spindle speed and direction of spindle rotation must be programmed
in the part program if there are no defining parameters in the grinding cycle.
The G functions active prior to the cycle call remain active beyond the cycle.
