ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for grinding a surface upon a workpiece having disparate grindability characteristics. A mechanical cam is used in the preferred embodiment to model the characteristics of a cylindrical surface and is rotated with the workpiece. The cam imparts motion to a follower which in turn imparts the motion to a pulse generator. Electrical signals which are dependent upon the angular orientation of the workpiece and the grindability characteristics of a circumferential sector of the workpiece in grinding contact with an abrasive wheel are produced by the pulse generator and used to partially control the infeed movement and the interface force between the workpiece and the abrasive wheel.
