Embodiment Construction

[0020] The invention includes a profiling assembly for a grinding machine for grinding rolls. The grinder includes a support for housing the roll such that the roll is rotatable about its longitudinal axis, and a grinding wheel for grinding the surface of the roll around its circumference. A feed mechanism brings the grinding wheel into contact with the roll, and a transverse mechanism moves the grinding wheel back and forth across opposite ends of the roll in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the roll.

[0021] A shape measuring assembly or caliper assembly is configured to measure the shape of the roll and has a mechanism for the assembly to contact the surface of the roll and move back and forth between opposite ends of the roll. The assembly includes a frame, and a bracket supported by a linear guide connected to the frame. One or two measuring arms are connected to the linear guide and spaced apart from each other. The linear guide is configured such that...

Abstract

A linked transport mechanism and method that uses a single source of motive force to synchronously position multiple displaceable sensors of a shape-measuring assembly onto a roll received in a roll grinding machine. At least two sensors (28, 29) are mounted on linear slides on at least one measuring arm (1). The complete shape-measuring assembly includes at least three sensors (27, 28, 29) or measuring points to allow the calculation of the cross-sectional shape of the roll and the extraneous error movement of the roll. At least one measuring arm is connected to a linear guide (4) of the frame (3). The linear motor is connected between the frame and the measuring arms. The linked transport mechanism assures the synchronous accurate positioning of the sensors, each at a fixed angle through the roll center, over the entire range of roll diameters that the grinding machine may receive.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the field of roll grinding machines or cylinder grinding machines, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a measuring assembly or caliper assembly for measuring the geometric parameters or profiles of rolls or cylinders accommodated on the grinding machine. Background technique [0002] Metal rolls are commonly used in the steel, aluminum, and paper mill industries to shape products such as metal pieces or sheet metal, aluminum foil, or paper sheets. The roll surface may be covered with a non-metallic material such as rubber, polyurethane, or ceramic. The use in the rolling mill will eventually lead to the degradation of the shape and quality of the roll surface. At this time, the roll needs to be taken out of the rolling mill and finished on a grinding machine. A grinding machine is described in US Patent No. 4,811,524 to Corallo. [0003] A caliper assembly for a grinding machine is descri...
