Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If separate computer numerical control programs are executed for different processing procedures, then each processing step can be controlled precisely, but the grinding processing process becomes fragmentary and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate computer numerical control programs into a single integrated control program. The processing scheduling procedure consolidates several independent processing procedures (including dressing procedures and grinding procedures) into one unified program structure, allowing the controller to execute them sequentially without requiring separate program loading and execution cycles. This integration maintains precise control over each processing step while eliminating the fragmentation and time loss associated with executing separate programs.
2Quantity of substance
If the same processing procedure needs to be repeated, then production volume increases, but execution time increases proportionally
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining multiple processing procedures (including dressing procedures and grinding procedures) within a single integrated control program. These procedures are prepared in advance with all necessary parameters and sequences configured, allowing them to be executed repeatedly without re-programming. The processing scheduling procedure enables the controller to call and execute these pre-configured procedures multiple times efficiently, significantly reducing the time required for repeated production runs.
3Ease of operation
If multiple separate procedures are executed manually, then operational control is maintained, but operational convenience decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the integrated control program into distinct, modular processing procedures (dressing procedures, grinding procedures, etc.), each with its own specific parameters and execution logic. The processing scheduling procedure acts as a coordinator that manages the execution sequence of these segmented procedures. This modular structure maintains operational control and clarity while enabling automated integrated execution, improving ease of operation without oversimplifying the control structure.

AI summary
A grinding machine control method and a control system employing the method is disclosed. The grinding machine control method includes the step of providing a plurality of sub processing procedures each dominating a grinding machine to execute a respective processing step, the step of providing a processing scheduling processing to link the sub processing procedures into a main processing procedure, and the step of executing the main processing procedure to enable the grinding machine to run subject to the processing steps executed by the respective sub processing procedures.
