Abstract
Automatic calibration equipment for planar grinding machines comprises a measuring head (12) fixed to a table (4) of the associated grinding machine for measuring the distance between this table and the grinding wheel (6), and an electronic measuring and control apparatus (14) for receiving the output signal of the measuring head and producing signals controlling the forward and rearward movement of the grinding wheel. The measuring head comprises a pneumatic circuit with a first branch of very low internal volume provided with an inlet nozzle and a measurement outlet nozzle (48) oriented to blow towards the edge of the grinding wheel, a second branch provided with an inlet nozzle and a reference nozzle, means for connecting the inlet nozzles of these branches to an installation (18) delivering compressed air at regulated pressure, and a pressure-differential transducer with a semi-conducting element for detecting the difference between the pressures in the two branches.
