SOLITAIRE FOUR AXIS CNC GRINDER CONTROLS 

Þ     

Solitaire has developed one of the most user friendly controls dedicated 

   to Centerless Grinding application. The controls are operated by

  

   Siemens 802D CNC controller with Siemens hardware.  

Þ     

   The software is provided for Thrufeed and Infeed to allow flexibility of the
   operations. It is user friendly operator Interface Monitor  with easy to work 
   with software.  Simple G Code driven software.

Þ     

  The software is easily Programmable to generate steps, tapers, radii
   and crown on grinding wheel and can be customized to suit application. 

Þ     

   The software can be integrated with various CNC options and customized
   to suit different applications.  A stand alone enclosure is provided for the

 

   controls which can be installed on new or used grinders.

Þ     

    In case of used grinders, Solitaire can also rebuild your infeed and

  

    dresser slides prior to installation of attachment to ensure optimum 

    performance. 

Þ     

   Siemens AC Digital Brushless Servo Motor is  assembled with Alpha
   Germany Precision Gear Box of 10:1 ratio however other gear ratios 
    are available  for different applications. 

Þ     

   The axes are operated with the help of Precision Ground Ball Screws 
   with Preloaded Zero Backlash Nut Assembly. 
Þ       The infeed program allows load, rough, semi finish and finish diameter

   

    set up with individual feed rate for each step of the way in each grinding 
   cycle. The spark out time, load time and dwell time after rough grinding 
   can be programmed and can be set up for single or auto cycle.

INFEED SLIDE AXIS (X AXIS)

Þ     

This axis controls the infeed slide movement for grinding cycle. 

Þ     

  The operator can set feed rate for grinding.

Þ   

   Three different feed rate and diameters are possible in each grinding
    cycle, namely  rough grind ,semi finish grind, and finish grind.

Þ     

   The dwell time for loading and spark out can also be  programmed.

Þ     

   The infeed side can be compensated for size adjustment in the
   increment of 0.001 mm or one micron. The compensation can be  
   done manually or automatically as provided for the grinder. 

 

TWO AXIS CNC  GRINDING WHEEL DRESSER ( Y & Z AXIS )

Þ     

   The grinder will be equipped with 2 axis CNC grinding wheel dresser.

Þ   

   Precision frictionless roller slides will be installed for 
   traverse axis (Y axis) and honed housing and precision ground 
   quill assembly for accurate advance of diamond (Z axis).

Þ     

   There axis will be integrated with servo infeed assembly  and other
  CNC options. dress compensation provided  in case of integration

   

   with servo infeed attachment. The compensation can be   done 
  manually  or automatically as provided for the grinder. 
 

THREE AXIS CNC  GRINDING WHEEL DRESSER ( Y & Z AXIS )

Þ      The regulating wheel drive will be integrated with servo infeed 
    attachment through the controller.       
Þ     Different speeds can be programmed for rough grind, semi finish 
    grind and finish grind in the same grinding cycle.
Þ     By varying speed while grinding improves the surface finish  and roundness 
   of the component. 
Þ    The speeds can be changed in increment of 1 rpm. 
Þ    Some time the component may be slightly bent and in such  case a low
   pre grind off the bent condition without loading up  the wheel or getting
    burn marks on the component.
