Research on Casting Edge Grinding Machine of Tracking Type

Abstract

This article analyzes the present situation of the casting edge grinding and cleaning, it introduces the main structure of tracking type casting edge grinding machine. We turn the 3D electronic picture into a edge grinding figure in order to store it into the edge grinding machine control system, then the control system will convert the edge grinding figure automatically into G code, and grinding head controlled by the G code makes edge grinding in according to the casting boundary, and in order to avoid the damage that made by the oversized grinding depth to the large number of grinding machines, the visual system should identify the boundary shape of casting boundary, controlling the grinding head to automatically withdraw the tool when the casting is oversize, and the grinding head grinds workpiece according to the maximum grinding depth in the same time.
