Angled-Wheel Grinding
This chapter covers angled wheel grinder applications. The following
topics on angled-wheel grinding are covered in this chapter:
Determining the wheel-angle on an angled-wheel grinder
Selecting an Angled-Wheel mode (G16.3, G16.4 or G15)
Position Displays on an Angled-Wheel Grinder
Manual Motion on an Angled-Wheel Grinder
Homing an Angled-Wheel Grinder
Plane Selection on an Angled-Wheel Grinder (G17, G18, or G19)
Offset on an Angled-Wheel Grinder
Overtravels and Programmable Zones on an Angled-Wheel Grinder
Important: The Angled-Wheel Grinding feature is not available on 9/240
Grinder packages.
This manual uses the following configuration for examples and discussions
throughout this manual:
You have a cylindrical grinder with one linear non-orthogonal axis (all
axes are not perpendicular)
The rear non-orthogonal axis is named W and is the wheel axis
The rear axis (axial) parallel to the part spindle center line is named Z
There is a virtual axis named X perpendicular to the part spindle center
line (there is no actual mechanical hardware for a virtual axis, it is
created by the control).
This manual assumes G16.3 is the default mode (configured in AMP)
