Abstract
A tramming fixture and method for accurately tramming in, or positioning, a dressing wheel with respect to a dressing axis of a dressing machine so that all points on the surface of the dressing wheel which contact the workpiece during dressing are equi-distant from such dressing machine axis. In accordance with this invention, the tramming fixture provides a mechanism for obtaining a measurement representative of the distance between a reference line and the point of dressing contact on the peripheral surface of the dressing wheel. By tilting or rotating the dressing wheel about the dressing axis through predetermined angles, taking corresponding distance measurements, and comparing the measurements, a determination can be made of the appropriate position adjustment required to properly locate the dressing wheel.
