Anyone know of good information about a site for CNC roll grinding??
Rolls to be ground are for a Zmill (Waterbury/Farrel) Senzimir type
made of A1/D2 . Rockwell of 64.
We currently grind these on a manual grinder.
All of these rolls are ground to a tenth of a thousandth in roll profile and taper.
The Studer is equipped with " constant surface foot " that works with
the Studer canned cycle programs. This works for straight rolls.
We also grind "crowned rolls", .001 and .004 .
The "crown " program is not a Studer canned cycle program and does not interface with the constant surface foot feature of the Studer S33.
This leave me with the problem of fitting programs (traverse rate, workhead speed, gw rpm) to roll sizes as "one size does not fit all ".
Roll sizes start at 1.950 to 2.250.
Hoping to find some guidelines published........
