Abstract
A grinding machine, in particular a centerless cylindrical grinding machine, comprising: a supporting table, at least one wheel disposed on at least one wheel carriage, a device for holding a workpiece to be machined, the wheel carriage being movable in each case in a controlled way toward the holding device for the workpiece to be machined and away therefrom, and at least one dressing device. For dressing, the respective dressing device and the corresponding wheel are adjusted relative to one another in a controlled way. The dressing device is disposed on a carriage which is movable along a first axis aligned substantially parallel to the rotational axis of the respective wheel. During the moving of the dressing device along the first axis, a stationary guide way determines a reference position of the dressing device with respect to the wheel to be dressed in orthogonal direction to the first axis. In this way inaccuracies in the overall guiding mechanics during the movement of the dressing device can be eliminated, a very precise dressing of the respective wheel being achieved.
