Abstract
In a grinding machine wherein a first carriage for the grinding wheel is movable at right angles to the axis of the grinding wheel toward and away from a second carriage which supports a dressing tool as well as the reciprocable or pivotable sensor of a distance measuring instrument and is movable in parallelism with the aforementioned axis, the grinding wheel is dressed by the dressing tool while the second carriage moves relative to the first carriage and vice versa. The distance between the periphery of the freshly dressed grinding wheel and the dressing tool is memorized in response to a signal which denotes the position of the sensor while the latter contacts the dressed portion of the grinding wheel, and the thus stored signal is used for proper positioning of the grinding wheel relative to the dressing tool preparatory to the next dressing operation.
