Setting the turning point of the grinding wheel on a Rapidline

  • Remove the 20mm wheel.
  • Use a feeler to measure the distance between the base plate and the mounting plate as shown in Pic.1.

Pic.1.

  • Loosen the grub screw holding the mounting plate in place (Pic.2).

Pic.2.

  • Adjust distance as required by moving mounting plate back or forward, and then tighten grub screw back up.
  • Now mount the new grinding wheel.

 

Check that the turning point is the middle of the grinding wheel. You can test this over a fixed point as seen in Pic.3 & 4.

Pic.3.                            Pic.4.

Now you can set the parameters in the C:\stdmmi\Hegla.ini
[DIN-Vorspann]
Z16=G93 X-104.5 Y254.5 T1 (X- and Y-Offset cutting wheel to grinding head**Your values may vary**)
[BreiteSchleifScheibe]

WKZ_Offset_X=0 (Not used see DIN-Vorspann)
WKZ_Offset_Y=0 (Not used see DIN-Vorspann)
Breite=20 (Grinding Wheel Diameter)

 

Change measurements accordingly and save the file. You will need to restart the HMI for the changes to take effect and make a NEW cutting plan.

Test result by cutting and grinding squares. Measure grind to grind and ensure that the cut is in the middle of the grind.
