CENTERLESS CYLINDRICAL GRINDING MACHINE FOR GRINDING WORKPIECES IN ROD FORM AND METHOD FOR THE CENTERLESS CYLINDRICAL GRINDING OF WORKPIECES IN ROD FORM
In a machine for centreless cylindrical grinding, the workpiece is located in a grinding gap, which is formed by the regulating wheel, the grinding wheel and the support blade. The regulating wheel rotates about its axis of rotation, and drives the workpiece to rotate. The grinding wheel is driven to rotate about its axis of rotation with the direction of rotation. The workpiece passes in the direction of its longitudinal axis through a number of sets of regulating wheels and grinding wheels, which are each themselves arranged coaxially one behind the other. The regulating wheels and the grinding wheels have axial interspaces on their axes; the regulating wheels thereby engage in the interspaces between the grinding wheels, and vice versa, so as to form lateral regions of overlap between the wheels.
