A GRINDING SPINDLE DEVICE AND A SAW-BLADE GRINDING MACHINE

Abstract A grinding machine, which preferably serves in sharpening saw-blades, particularly circular saw-blades, has a machine frame that supports a device for supporting the saw blade and for fixedly clamping the blade and for advancing the saw-blade tooth-by-tooth. The grinding attachment has two spindles or shafts, which operate independently of one another, and are preferably oriented perpendicular to one another, and preferably support separate drives. The grinding attachment is mounted to pivot and be adjusted in three spatial directions. In a selected pivoting position, one of these spatial directions (Z direction) is oriented radially with respect to the saw blade. In this position, the axis of rotation of one spindle is oriented in the circumferential direction, and the axis of rotation of the other spindle is oriented in the radial direction. A grinding attachment of this type permits the hollow-grinding of tooth faces with grinding pencils that have a small diameter. A separate, high-speed motor serves to drive the grinding pencil (FIG.)
Full Text Grinding spindle and saw blade grinding machine with high
frequency spindle.
The invention refers to a grinding spindle and saw blade
grinding machine, particularly for saw blades, whose saw
teeth display a concave face.
Saw blade grinding machine, which are used in the
maintenance for sharpening of already used saw blades or in
production must match in each case with the conditions
prevailing at the saw blade or with the shape of tooth to
be produced. As per rule, at a tooth of a saw blade
particularly in carbide tipped saw blades, back of tooth
and tooth face are to be ground. Some times tooth flanks
are also ground. Ground shapes differ therein. In some
cases it can be as for example desirable to grind the tooth
face concave, while in other cases a flat grinding is
desired.
For generation of a concave grinding at a tooth face a
concave face grinding process is known from the DE 4141900
A1 which works with a cylindrical grinding body, whose axis
of rotation is oriented mainly parallel to the tooth face
surface area. The grinding body is part of a mounted
grinding point which is brought into engagement in the
centre level or in two positions of engagement with the
tooth face shifted against the centre level of saw blade,
in order to grind them. Depending on the direction of off-
set it"s direction of rotation is selected.
The concave grinding of tooth face is required only in a
few cases of saw blades, but not in all types. The saw
blade grinding machine will however be input as per rule
flexible without resetting or rather rechanging.
Starting from there, it is the assignment of the invention,
to achieve an improvement in the saw blade grinding
machine, through which many different types of saw blades
to the. extent possible may be processed.
This assignment is solved with the grinding spindle as per
claim 1 as well as with the saw blade grinding machine as
per claim 12.
The grinding spindle as per invention shows two shafts,
which are combined with drives for different number of
rotations. While the first shaft can be provided at their
both ends in each case with at least one grinding wheel, at
the second shaft arranged between the ends of first shaft a
mounted grinding point can be assembled. Preferably the
drives of both the shafts are so designed that the number
of rotation of first shaft proportions to the number of
rotation of second shaft as the circumference of grinding
tool of second shaft to the circumference of (larger)
grinding wheel of first shaft. The mounted grinding point
runs as for example with a number of rotation of 10,000 to
60,000 rotations/ min.
Through the assembly of second shaft in an area between the
ends of first shaft, that means preferably outside of a
cylindrical or cone shaped area, enclosed between the
grinding wheels, a compact, stable, with less vibration and
even yet permitting a well positioned structure is
attained. The high sped grinding tool (mounted grinding
point) can be brought without problem into engagement with the
tooth face of all most each saw blade. The distance of
grinding body of mounted grinding point from the first axis
of rotation is preferably at least so large as the radius
of larger grinding wheel, in doing so the axes of rotation
can cut or cross over. Through it, it is prevented that the
grinding wheels come into engagement with saw blades when
the mounted grinding point will be active. In case the
grinding wheels work, the mounted grinding point is
removed from the saw blade. The positioning way of grinding
spindle are short in this structure and a quick rational
work is made possible.
It results a specially compact, rigid structure, when the
shafts provided at the grinding head are held to each other
in firm spatial arrangement. The shafts provided in the
grinding spindle are laid thereby in the support carrier
preferably not adjustable to each other.
Preferably the drives of both the shafts are separated and
consequently are controllable independent to each other. To
the drive equipment for the first shaft and the second
shaft belong then a first and second drive over which the
shafts in each case are driven separately. The second drive
is preferably a high speed drive with a number of rotations
(as for example 60,000 rotations / minute fixed, which is
at least ten times greater than the number of rotations of
first shaft (as for example 1000-6000 rotations/ minute).
This makes possible the input of grinding tools to one and
the same grinding spindle tools to one and the same
grinding spindle, whose diameter vary very strongly as for
example around more than one order of magnitude.
For the positioning it is advantageous, when the first
shaft and the second shaft are oriented to each in right
angle, cutting each other or off-set to each other. Therein
lie both shafts preferably in each case in one plane, which
agrees with the saw blade centre level or with one level
parallel to this.
The saw blade grinding machine shows as per claim 12 and 13
a machine rack, on which all essential components of saw
blade grinding machine are supported. The machine rack
holds one saw blade carrier which if required in
combination with a clamping device is equipped to it to
store the saw blade stationary for processing in a
processing position. Besides a device is provided to move
further the saw blade toothwise and with it to transport
the teeth one after the other in processing position. For
this a separate feed device, a so called parting finger can
be provided. Alternatively, the feed device can also be
part of saw blade carrier. It can apply at the teeth of saw
blade as also at other locations of saw blade or at the saw
blade carrier.
Preferably a feed device is used, which can be controllable
in variable condition, so that as per requirement feed
steps can be adjusted. In a specially preferred design
shape, the feed steps are individually controlled, in order
to adjust also to one and the same saw blade changing feed
steps.
For processing of teeth at least one grinding spindle as
per invention serves, which shows a support carrier. This
can be sub-divided as per requirement (first and second
support carrier). The shafts are in each case provided with
at least one own grinding body. While one shaft is equipped
with one or more number of grinding wheels, the other
carries a mounted grinding tool. The first and the second
shaft are driven by a drive device, in doing so the drive
device preferably is distributed in two separate drives,
which are separately controllable. This preferably from a
master control device, which also takes over the other
control of grinding machine.
The grinding spindle is built such, that preferably at one
point of time purely only one of the grinding bodies comes
in engagement with the saw blade. Correspondingly drive of
one shaft in each case is sufficient. The mounted grinding
tool is provided for processing of tooth face. The grinding
wheel(s) is (are) in first instance provided for processing
of back of teeth as also as per requirement of tooth face.
The high speed drive for the mounted grinding point can be
designed as retrofit kit provided for construction at
existing or correspondingly prefitted grinding spindles.
A positioning device carried from the machine rack, permits
at least two linear adjust directions and optionally one
swivelling movement around a swivelling axis B standing
vertically on the saw blade and should the occasion arise
around a further swivelling axis. Through the swivelling a
matching of orientation of grinding wheel and of the
mounted grinding point to the back of the teeth and to the
tooth face is made possible. Additionally linear axes
permit a feed movement. In ideal case three linear axes in
each case in right angle to one another are provided.
An essential advantage of new grinding machine lies
therein, that also saw blades, whose teeth show a concave
face can be fully ground in one operation in one set up
with a machine. Manual operation is as a rule not required
and the positioning ways are short.
The positioning device is carried from the machine rack, to
make possible a precise allocation and positioning in
relation to the saw blade. In place of swivelling axis B the
saw blade can also be dealt with an other position, in
doing so the grinding spindle remains unswivelled. This can
take place through an adjustment of saw blade carrier on an
arch shaped or straight track sidewise to a combination
between the saw blade carrier and the grinding spindle.
Besides the axis of rotation of saw blade in combination
with the sidewise adjustment of grinding spindle can
replace the B-axis.
A control device controls the work of saw blade grinding
machine and controls the positioning device as well as the
feed device as also the holding device and the drive
device. Consequently the total grinding process can run
controlled. The preferable flexible control device as well
as the above mentioned assembly of other components permits
the complete processing of saw blade in one set up in one
and the same saw blade grinding machine. The saw blade
grinding machine is useful over this flexibly and in
versatile ways.
For matching to varying saw blade diameter, the saw blade
carrier is laid preferably adjustable in the machine rack
in order to adjust the distance to the grinding spindle.
Alternatively the matching of position of grinding spindle
to variable saw blade diameter can be taken up through an
an adjustment of grinding spindle. Altogether, with it
three linear axes are sufficient for position adjustment.
Besides at least one swivelling axis for the grinding
spindle is present. In case the saw blade carrier is laid
at the machine rack not stationary, but adjustable, it
displays preferably an adjustment drive, which is
controlled like all other drives likewise by the control
device. This makes possible a flexible processing of lots
composed out of varying saw blades.
In front of grinding spindle preferably a clamping device
is provided as holding device for support of saw blades
which is firmly supported on the machine rack. The clamping
device takes hold of the saw blade in the proximity of
teeth under process and is preferably controllable by the
control device.
The grinding wheel existing on the first shaft is at least
provided at it"s circumferential face with abrasive
material. Additionally it can be coated at one of it"s flat
sides or at both the flat sides with abrasive grains in
order to process different areas of saw tooth.
The mounted grinding point running with higher and highest
number of rotations shows preferably a cylinder or cone
shaped grinding body, in doing so it"s radius at an useful
execution shape is greater than the thickness of a tooth of
saw blade measured in direction of axis. In order to
generate a specially deep rounded fillet at the tooth face,
the diameter can be smaller than the tooth thickness.
Further details of advantageous execution shape of
invention are items of subordinate claims, of drawing or of
description. In the drawing an execution example of
invention has been shown. They show :

In Figure 1 a grinding machine is shown which serves as saw
blade grinding machine. The grinding machine 1 shows a
machine rack 2 which is installed stationary on a not
further shown mounted face. The grinding machine 1 serves
for grinding of saw blades, particularly circular saw
blades 3, as it is shown in Figure 3 purely schematically.
For storing of saw blade 3 a saw blade carrier 4 serves,
which is located rotatable around an axis of rotation 5.
The saw blade carrier 4 shows for pick up and orientation
of saw blade 3 an arbour 6 which looms up from a plane
seating surface 7 of saw blade carrier 4 and centres the
saw blade 3.
For fastening of saw blade 3 at the saw blade carrier 4 a
clamping 8 serves, which consequently if required in joint
operation with further not shown clamping device serves as
fastening means.
The saw blade carrier 4 is carried from a positioning
device 9 which positions the saw blade carrier around the
axis of rotation 5 rotatable and additionally displaceable
along a direction denoted through an arrow 10. The drive
for carrying out displacement movement is not shown further
in Figure 2. It is under the control device" 11, with an
indicator device 12 and input item 14.
The control device 11 controls besides a feed device 15
which is located on the machine rack 2. It serves to
stepwise rotation of the saw blade 3 in order to transport
in each case a tooth 3a (Figure 3) of the same in
processing position. The feed device 15 shows a moveable
finger 18 in at least one, preferably two directions 16, 17
which can rotate the saw blade 3 toothwise around it"s axis
of rotation 5. The finger 18 is besides positioned around a
swivelling axis 5 capable of swivelling, in order to slide
over the teeth 3a like a retaining pawl. A (from the
control device 11) controlled drive or a spring engage the
finger 18 in the teeth intermediate space.
Besides one holding device 19 controlled likewise from the
control device 11 is provided which serves to it to store
the saw blade 3 in static condition for processing of it"s
respective tooth and which is carried by machine rack 2. A
stationary lower jaw 21 and one moveable upper jaw 23 in
direction of an arrow 22 to some extent parallel to the
axis of rotation 5 belong to the holding device 19. The
jaws 21, 22 can also as per requirement be replaced through
a single jaw by a controllable magnet or equivalent.
For carrying out of a grinding process of saw blades a
grinding spindle 24 serves which is carried by a
positioning device 25 and is supported at the machine
rack 2. The grinding spindle 24 shows, as evident from
Figure 3, two grinding wheels 26a, 26b and a mounted
grinding point 27.
The grinding wheels 26a, 26b are, as evident from Figure 4
and 5 are provided for grinding process of a back of tooth
28 and of a flat (plane) tooth face of a tooth 29 of saw
blade 3, while the mounted grinding point 27 as per Figure
6 serves for processing of a tooth face 21. The grinding
wheels 26a, 26b are carried by a shaft 33, which are stored
rotatable at a position carrier 34 around on axis of
rotation 35 or is alternatively fixed and at whose ends
they are fastened. The position carrier 34 is combined
with a base plate 36, which is carried by the position
device 25. In an execution shape the base plate is
swingable around an axis 0 (Figure 1), which shows somewhat
parallel to the saw blade 3 towards it"s centre and which
is consequently some what parallel to the direction denoted
through the arrow 10.
At the position carrier 34 a carrier 37 (Figure 3) is
fastened, which shows a spindle or shaft 38. This is
located rotatable around an axis of rotation 39 and
carries at one end the mounted grinding point 27. The axes
of rotation 35, 39 are preferably oriented at perpendicular
to each other and are arranged in parallel to each other
levels Al, A2 (Figure 1) parallel to the saw blade 3. As
per requirement, the base plate 36, as indicated in the
Figures 3 and 4 to 6 through an axis 41, can be stored
swingable (arrow 42 in Figure 2). With it, the axis of
rotation 35 can tilt against : the saw blade level, which
however is not required in each case. The levels Al and A2
have a distance from each other which corresponds
approximately to sum out of grinding wheel radius the
mounted grinding point radius and the thickness of saw
blade. Besides the mounted grinding point 27, as it is
indicated in Figure 7 through a dashed line A3 is arranged
below the plane grinding surface of grinding wheel 26b (in
relation to Y-direction).
The carrier 37 forns with a spindle motor 43 (high frequency
spindle) and with the mounted grinding point 27 a grinding
module 44, which is preferably firmly installed. In the
grinding module 44, cooling channels are provided for
cooling of spindle motor 43 developed as high capacity
drive. Besides channels supply as per requirement a cooling
lubricating fluid to the mounted grinding point 27.
The drive of first shaft 33 takes place over a drive
equipment, to which a motor 33a held by the position
carrier 33 and a gear 33b (toothed belt) belong. The drive
of shaft 33 as well as the drive of shaft 38 exists under
preferably the control device 11. With it both shafts 33,
38 can be driven as per requirement and independent from
each other.
The positioning device 25 shows a carrier 51 which is
located capable of swivelling in an execution form around a
swivelling axis B oriented parallel to the axis of rotation
5. A corresponding^ not shown further, swivelling drive for
fixing selected swivelling position exists below the
control of control device 11. The carrier 51 is provided
with a linear guide, which guides a sliding frame 52 in a
Z-direction (Fig.2) away from the swivelling axis B and on
this to or in X-direction (Figure 1) adjustable linear. A
corresponding Z-drive 53 (X-drive) is likewise carried by
the carrier 51.
On the sliding frame 52 a further carrier 54 displaceable
in X-direction (Z-direction in Figure 1) is stored which is
adjustable consequently approximately in direction of
circumference in relation to saw blade 3 (depending on
swivelling position of carrier 51). A corresponding
adjustment drive is not shown further and exists under the
control 11.
At the carrier 54, vertically in Y-direction adjustable a
sliding frame 55 is stored, which carries the base plate
36. The sliding frame 55 is positioned by an adjustment
drive 55a which is controlled by the control device 11. The
so far described grinding machine 1 works as it follows :
For processing of saw blade 3 at it"s tooth face area 31,
this is arranged on the saw blade carrier 4 and is firmly
clamped with the fastening medium 8.
The feed device 15 positions the saw blade 3 now in a
desired first grinding position, as it is as for example
shown in Figure 6. With the holding device 19, the saw
blade 3 now is firmly clamped in this position and grinding
spindle 24 (particularly in Y-direction) is so positioned
that the mounted grinding point 27, as shown in Figure 3
remains before the tooth 29. The axis of rotation 39 is
oriented parallel to the tooth face area. The drive 43 is
controlled by the controlled device 11 such that the
mounted grinding point 27 runs with higher number of
rotations. The grinding wheel can remain therein in static
condition.
After the axis of rotation 39 preferably is oriented mainly
parallel to the Z-axis, the drive 53 is activated, so that
the grinding spindle 24 performs a movement in Z-direction
and with it longitudinally of axis of rotation 39 of
mounted grinding point 27. This can take piace in saw blade
centre. As per requirement through adjustment of Y-axis
also a displacement of saw blade centre level can be
reached. The grinding process of tooth face area 31 can as
per requirement be repeated in different Y-positioning, in
order to generate a cutting face area shape which deviates
from the shape of case face of mounted grinding point 27.
Additionally or in place of operation of Y-axis, the Y-axis
can also be operated to adjust the mounted grinding point
27 vertical. Besides a movement in X-direction can take
place, which agrees mainly with the direction of
circumference of saw blade.
Due to high displacement (in Y-direction) between the
mounted grinding point 27 and grinding wheels 26a, 26b
around preferably at least one grinding wheel radius the
grinding wheel 26b stands above saw blade, so that the
grinding spindle 24 can be moved and positioned
unrestricted without that the grinding wheels 26a, 26b come
in engagement undesired with the saw blade 3.
After the grinding of tooth 27, at it"s tooth face the
grinding spindle 24 is driven in Z-direction somewhat to
outside and the holding device 19 is opened. With the feed
device 15, the saw blade 3 is further connected around a
tooth and thereafter is again firmly clamped through the
holding device, after which the next tooth face 31 can be
processed.
When all tooth face areas of all teeth of saw blade 3 are
processed, without compulsorily, changing of saw blade 3,
the back face of tooth 28 can be processed. For this the
grinding spindle 24 is transported in the position shown in
Figure 4 and drops in Y-direction. The axis of rotation 35
is essentially oriented parallel to the back of tooth 28
under grinding in each case. An activation in direction of
X-axis, that means parallel to the axis of rotation 35
(which is preferably oriented parallel to the X-qxis) leads,
now to grinding of back of tooth 28. In case these are to
be built plane, additionally a movement in Y-direction can
be executed. As for example, this can take place when the
total back of tooth 28 stands in engagement with the face
of circumference of grinding wheel 26a.
In case a back of tooth 28 is ground, the control device 11
activates the clamping device 19 and the feed device 15, in
order to bring the next tooth in processing position and
again to clamp it firmly there. In this way all back of
tooth are processed one after the other.
Additionally or alternatively to concave grinding of tooth
face as per Fig. 6, the tooth face can also be ground
plane. The plane grinding can limit on the external area of
tooth face or can cover it fully. The grinding process is
shown in Figure 5. In case such a plane grinding is not
required, the grinding wheel 26b can also be eliminated.
Alternatively in place of grinding wheel 26b also the
grinding wheel 26a is eliminated, when back of tooth
grinding is not required.
The grinding spindle shows with it two working levels Al,
A2 (Fig.7) which are displaced perpendicular to the saw
blade 3 agqinst each other (Y-direction). The displacement
is preferably somewhat greater than a radius of grinding
wheels 26a, 26b. The working levels Al is assigned to the
grinding wheels 26a, 26b while the other working level A2
is assigned to the mounted grinding point 27. Preferably
the distance or displacement between the working levels is
equal to sum out of (largest to be taken) radius of
grinding wheels 26a, 26b and the (largest to be taken)
diameter of mounted grinding point. In any case, however
the distance is so sized that the grinding wheels 26a, 26b
stand at a sufficient safety distance over the saw blade 3,
when the mounted grinding point 27 remains in engagement
with tooth face in it"s deepest position. The distance
between the working levels Al, A2 is particularly shown in
Fig. 7.
In case without or with less vertical positioning movement
it should be managed, the axes 33, 38 can also be arranged
in less distance from each other. The grinding body of
mounted grinding point 27 is however in any case arranged
outside of a volume or area, which is limited between the
grinding wheels by the saw blade with the largest
admissible diameter, when it is approached in the working
level of mounted grinding point at the grinding wheels and
does not touch it as yet. Thus the mounted grinding 27 can
be brought in engagement with the saw blade, without that
the saw blade comes in engagement with the grinding wheels
and even then a compact (rigid) structure is reached which
permits short actuator travels.
The saw blade 3 is ground at all tooth face areas and back
of tooth in one set up. Once it is finish ground, it is
taken out and is replaced through the next following saw
blade to be processed. In case it"s diameter deviates from
the diameter of the previously processed saw blade 3, the
positioning device 9 for the saw blade carrier 4 in
direction of arrow 10 is so adjusted that the teeth located
in processing position in each case again remain in area of
holding device 19 and of grinding spindle 24.
A grinding machine 1, which mainly serves for sharpening of
saw blade 3, shows a machine frame 2 which carries a device
for storing of saw blades, for stationary static firm
clamping of same and for tooth wise further connection.
Besides the machine rack 2 carries a positioning device,
which guides a grinding spindle. The grinding spindle 24
shows two spindles independent from each other, mainly
oriented at right angle to each other, which preferably
carry separate drives and are oriented at right angle to
each other. The grinding spindle 24 is swingable as well as
is positioned in three spatial directions adjustably.
In a selected swivelling position one of these
spatial directions (Z-directions) is oriented radially to
the saw blade 3. In this position the axis of rotation 35
of a spindle is oriented in direction of circumference and
the axis of rotation 39 of other spindle is oriented in
radial direction. Such a grinding spindle permits the
concave grinding of tooth face areas with mounted grinding
points of less diameter. For drive a separate high speed
motor serves.
