ABSTRACT:
An elongated metal workpiece such as a slab or billet is moved longitudinally beneath a grinding head by a reciprocating carriage mounted on an elongated track. The carriage receives a billet from a charging table, reciprocates the billet beneath the grinding head for a plurality of grinding passes, and then delivers the finished billet to a discharge table. The grinder head includes a rotating grinding wheel mounted at the end of a first arm which is pivotally secured to one end of a pivotally mounted second arm. The vertical position of the grinding wheel, and hence the downward force exerted by the grinding wheel on the billet, is principally determined by the angular position and torque, respectively, of the first arm while the horizontal position of the grinding wheel transverse to the longitudinal axis of the billet is principally determined by the angular position of the second arm. Grinding wheel vibration is limited by clamping the second arm to a massive, rigid foundation during each grinding pass thereby limiting the movement of the grinding head to a single degree of freedom. The grinding head and carriage are instrumented with transducers for measuring such parameters as grinding wheel driving torque and speed, carriage position and speed, and grinding wheel position to automatically remove a surface layer having a preselected thickness in accordance with a manually selected value representing desired thickness and the energy required to remove a unit volume of billet material at a given rate under specific conditions.
