METHOD FOR CENTERLESS CIRCULAR GRINDING AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING THE SAME Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B24B5/22 B24B51/00 

FIELD: machine engineering, possibly centerless circular grinding in processes of large-scale production of simple configuration blanks.

SUBSTANCE: method comprises steps of placing blank between grinding and driving wheels on supporting guide; providing possibility for automatic target changing at grinding process distance between said wheels and arrangement of supporting guide along height and(or) its inclination position. In order to realize it, at least one wheel is mounted in headstock moving across axial direction of blank and supporting guide is set at least by means of one servo-drive. Optimal regulation of positions of wheels and supporting guide is provided by means of control device. Programming unit is used for controlling said control device according to preset working program taking into account changes necessary for predetermined type of part. Working program is performed depending upon time period of grinding; such program is repeated for each individual part.

EFFECT: enhanced accuracy and quality of worked surfaces of parts in process of their large-scale production due to using simplified control devices.
