ABSTRACT:
A grinding machine wherein the grinding head is positioned on the work piece at a selected pressure to prevent overloading of the drive motor. The head consists of two vertical slides supported on roundway roller bearings from a vertical column. The bottom slide supports a driven contact wheel and the top slide supports an idler wheel. A coated abrasive belt is positioned around the contact wheel and the idler wheel. A pair of pneumatic cylinders are provided between the two slides to bias them apart and apply tension to the coated abrasive belt. A double acting hydraulic cylinder is supported by the vertical column and connected to the bottom slide for positioning the grinding head. Hydraulic pressure for down feeding of the head is regulated so that the drive motor cannot be overloaded. An incremental feed is provided for feeding the head down a selected increment each time the work table reciprocates. An adjustable fixed stop is provided for limiting downward movement of the bottom slide. The fixed stop limits downward travel of the grinding head, however, positioning of the head above the stop is not affected. Thus when the head is raised the position of the fixed stop remains unchanged. A safety lift off is provided to automatically raise the head if the belt tears.
