Size correction on STUDER cylindrical grinding machines

with StuderWIN
STUDER cylindrical grinding machines are extremely stable and can hold tolerances for longer periods of time thanks to their
robust construction and their Granitan machine bed. And yet even STUDER machines are subject to minor fluctuations in size,
which occur due to thermal changes and wear and tear in grinding wheels and dressing tools.
Thanks to StuderWIN machine operators can now make small corrections themselves in a simple and transparent manner.
Entering the correction
Entering the size corrections is a very
simple matter. If the diameter needs to be
bigger, a positive value is entered. If the
diameter needs to be smaller, a negative
value is entered. An absolute or sum of
values are also possible.
The graphic (see on left) shows to which
tool the correction applies. This reduces
incorrect entries.

Free correction buttons

To make entering numbers easier, a correction value can be defined for two softkey
buttons (marked red in the graphic), for
example 0.002 and -0.002mm).
When the respective button is pressed the
value in the current input field is corrected.
This makes input easier and helps avoid
input errors

Partial corrections
Uneven grinding forces or bending at the
workpiece often require that not only correction of the grinding wheel, but also of
each individual operation.
This is where StuderWIN offers the following advantage: The nominal size does
not have to be changed in the program. All
of the grinding operations are listed in an
overview. A correction for each individual
operation can be now defined in this view.
If the machine has a post-process measuring device, all corrections from these
measurements are also shown in this
overview.

Correction procedure
The correction progress can be shown at
the press of a button. The corrections are
displayed in a clearly structured graphic
(see on left).
This graphic enables machine operators to
better understand and analyze their machine and their grinding process. Excessive
wear to the grinding wheel or a less-than
optimal dressing process is detected here.
