S31: Form Grinding

[@sobelsonski]

Hello, do you use ordinary C axis or modified, does machine have C axis brake ? When off center grinding how is the initial positioning of C axis done ?

[@FritzStuderAG]

Thank you for your interest. We use a high-precision C-axis (scale). The C-axis does not necessarily need a brake. The correct position of the C-axis is measured once (1x) by means of a length positioning probe, which is located on the grinding head, in relation to the clamping device. This gives the starting point/position for the out-of-round grinding operation.

@@FritzStuderAG Thanks for answer. Do you use linear motor on X axis ? Do you use absolute encoder on C and XZ axis ? Is using high-precision scaled C axis mandatory for off center grinding or it can be done with standard C axis. This also apply to X axis linear motor, or it can be done with standard servo motor and ballscrew driven axis ?
