Abstract
A grinding worm ( ) on a grinding spindle is driven in a rotating manner. On a rotatable plate ( ), two workpiece spindles ( ) are positioned at a distance from one another and driven in a rotating manner. The one workpiece ( ) is ground with the grinding worm ( ), while on the other spindle ( ) a ground workpiece ( ) is exchanged for an unmachined part ( ) using a loader ( ). Each spindle ( ) has a corresponding centering probe ( ). By means of the signal of the probe and a control mechanism, the newly clamped-on workpiece ( ) is centered before the rotating plate ( ) is rotated into the position, in which this toothed gear ( ) can be brought into a mesh with the grinding worm ( ). In such a way, the unproductive times can be largely reduced.
