  • the green light G indicates that the hydraulic unit is working.
  • An emergency stop is shown at push button P82.
  • the selector switch SS] in line 13 of FIG. 14 is placed in the automatic position. Both Clamp Close" push buttons, PB3 and PB4, are depressed and held, thus energizing the clamp advance solenoid S1. previously mentioned in connection with FIG. 12. At the same time, this energizes the timer TDE which is set for approximately one second to prevent the operation of tied down buttons PB3 or PB4. This timer will time out breaking the circuit to solenoid S] if either of the push buttons are tied down, or are not depressed simultaneously. If the head frame beam 5 should tilt in either direction, so as to open either limit switch LS5 or LS6, this will break the clamping circuit and the warning light R will tell the operator that the clamp is off center. In this condition, neither the automatic nor the manual cycle can be activated and the operator must depress the Manual Clamp Open switch in line 19 of FIG. 14.
  • the automatic-manual switch SS1 in line 13 of FIG. 14 Prior to depressing this switch, the automatic-manual switch SS1 in line 13 of FIG. 14 must be moved to the manual switch position. If either of the Clamp Close buttons PB3 or P84 is released prior to full clamp pressure being achieved, then the clamping cylinders will stop. When the predetermined clamp pressure is achieved, then pressure switch PS1 energizes the relay ICR, breaks the clamp circuit through solenoid Sl, closes the supply voltage to the manual and automatic control devices, and the driving clutch of a counter (not shown) is energized as shown at line 28 of FIG. 14.

  • pressure switch PS1 energizes the relay lCR in line 12. This acts through relay 3CR in line 25 which through the contacts of counter relay energizes the solenoid S4 which advances the bottom media drive piston 17a. At the same time, it energizes the counting coil of the counter shown in line 27.
  • the pressure switch PS2 (line 29) energizes the media timer 'I' when the proper media pressure is reached in the lower end of cylinder 16a when the piston 17a develops an operating pressure against the media in the lowercylinder. When the media timer times out, it energizes the relay 3CR shown in line 31. This action breaks the circuit to the solenoid S4 stopping the bottom media cylinder advance.
  • Limit switch LS2 shown in FIG. 13, energizes relay 3CR is the bottom media cylinder reaches its maximum stroke before the timer T times out.
  • the relay 3CR is sealed in by the limit switch LS1 shown in FIG. 13.
  • limit switch LS1 drops out the relay 3CR, thus causing re-advance of the bottom cylinder.
  • the sequence is then repeated by relay lCR through relay 3CR and the count contacts 125 energizing the solenoid S4 to advance the bottom media cylinder and to energize the counting coil of the counter, including energization of the media timer T by the pressure switch PS2 when the proper media pressure is reached, and finally the media timer timing out, energizing relay '3CR, breaking the circuit to solenoid S4 of the bottom cylinder advance action, making the circuit to solenoid S5 causing top media cylinder advance, etc.
  • the counter will count out at the forward stroke of the bottom cylinder piston 17a when the relay 3CR is energized, which transfers the circuit from counter contacts 125 to counter contacts 126.
  • limit switch LS1 breaks the circuit to relay 3CR, making circuit through the counter contacts 126 and normally closed switch LS4 energizing solenoid S3 causing bottom cylinder retraction.
  • limit switch LS4 is actuated which breaks the circuit to solenoid S3 and energizes the relay 2CR.
  • the contacts 2CR are closed completing a circuit through the coil of solenoid S2 causing retraction of the clamping cylinder pistons 970. Release of the pressure switch PS1 as the clamp retracts, deenergizes relay ICR and all control circuits.
  • the relay 2CR is held in by the time delay contacts 2CRTD which, when timed out, de-energizes relay 2CR and clamp open solenoid S2.
  • the switch indicated at TGS] in line 5 of FIG. 14 is used to by-pass the Left Clamp Closed push button.
  • the switch marked TGS2 in line 6 is used to by-pass the clamp interlock relay ICR during a manual operation of the cycle.
  • the selector switch SS1 is placed in the manual" position. Then the operator depresses both of the Clamp Close push button, PBS and PB4, and holds them while energizing the clamp advance solenoid S1.
  • the TDE timer is set for approximately one second to prevent tie down of the buttons P83 or P134. This timer will time out breaking the circuit to solenoid Sll if the push buttons are tied down or if they are not depressed simultaneously.
  • the limit switches LS5 and LS6 break the clamping circuit and lights a warning light if the clamp tilts off center.
  • pressure switch PS1 When the proper clamping pressure is achieved, then pressure switch PS1 energizes the relay lCR breaking the clamping circuit through solenoid S1 and closing the supply voltage to the manual control devices. Control voltage is then made through selector switch SS1 to the manual push buttons for the topmedia cylinder as shown in lines 34, 35 and 36 of FIG. 14, and. to the manual push buttons for the bottom media cylinder as shown in lines 24 and 26. These buttons must be held depressed in order to cause complete traverse of the desired cylinder. Release of the buttons stops the motion. Clamp pressure failure will prevent operation of the manual controls and will light a warning light as previously described. To open the clamps,
  • the upper media cylinder 22 and its driving jack 15 are also held against substantially any flexing by the massive beam 5 guided exactly by the rigid guide columns 3 and 3a with no horizontal play possible because of the snugly fitting follower members 5a and 5b. No tilting of beam 5 is allowed because otherwise the limit switches LS5 and LS6 will stop the operation as has been described. There is assurance that the workpiece 96 will be firmly held between the media cylinders 22 and 22a by the powerful clamping cylinders 97 with assured heavy clamping pressure checked by the pressure switch PS1 as has been described. Thus, large numbers of workpieces may be abraded or honed within extremely fine tolerance limits so that all workpieces are substantially identical as to the amounts of material abraded therefrom. I

  • a machine as defined in claim 4 including control circuit means operatively connected with said power means for said medium driving devices to automatically reciprocate said driving devices alternately upward and downward; and means in said control circuit means normally in circuit non-energizing position and responsive to pressure, at a predetermined value, exerted by said clamping means in work-clamping position for causing energization of said control circuit means.
  • a machine as defined in claim 1 including control circuit means operatively connected with said power means for said medium driving devices to automatically reciprocate said driving devices alternately upward and downward; detector means operatively'associated between said head frame and said guides actuated only by vertical tilting of said head frame relative to said guides; said detector means including a normally closed switch in said control circuit means; and said tilting of said head frame being operative to open said switch and to prevent further operation of said machine.
  • each, of said guides is a vertically oriented U-shape channel having a web and two flanges opening inwardly; the edges of said flanges providing said guide ways; and said web providing said bracing means rigidly connecting said guide ways.
  • each of said guides is a vertically oriented U-shape channel having a web and two flanges opening inwardly, the outer face of said web and said flanges providing said guide ways; and said web providing said bracing means 13.
