Abstract
A processing apparatus includes two feed drums, each having an outer periphery formed with a spirally extending threaded guide surface and adapted to be driven to rotate, disposed so as to extend parallel to each other, and the feed drums are used to pass a roller through between the feed drums by the rotation thereof while the roller is caused to rollingly contact the mutually opposed threaded guide surface, and also includes a grinding stone for processing a crowned portion of the roller passing thorough between the feed drums. The threaded guide surface of the feed drums is divided into two axially juxtaposed divided threaded surface areas so that an outer peripheral surface of the roller can be supported at two anteroposterior locations.
