Function
The taper grinding cycle is called up to process a cone that is wider than the wheel. This
cone is ground using the oscillation method or multiple plunge-cutting.
Infeed when longitudinal grinding takes place at the reversal points. Intermediate dressing,
interruption and use of the handwheel are all supported (handwheel only for cylindrical
parts). The buttons react immediately. Following the technological steps of roughing and
finishing, dressing or off-loading can be programmed.
Sequence
Approach allowance position, approach X starting position and Z position. Start of the
oscillating motion after approaching with acoustic emission, infeed in the reversal points or
processing of the multiple plunge-cuts with or without acoustic emission.
The first infeed once oscillating motion has commenced is adjusted to ensure that all
additional infeed operations correspond to the infeed amount. This process is also performed
following interruptions, intermediate dressing and deselection of the handwheel override
function. Following interruption/dressing, an off-loading value is applied as the tool
approaches the machining start point. At the end, the tool retracts to the starting position.
