ExactDress Card

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the ExactDress™ Wheel Dress Process Control Card by Schmitt Industries, Inc., which automates and optimizes the dressing of grinding wheels. It aims to improve efficiency, extend wheel life, and prevent crashes by using acoustic sensor technology.
Specifications: The system uses SBS AEMS proprietary acoustic sensor technology to monitor high-frequency signals during the dressing process. It compares these signals to a stored reference waveform to determine the completion of the dressing process.
Procedures: Setup involves dressing a wheel to teach the system the reference waveform. The process is divided into time slices or zones, displayed on a bar graph. The system indicates incomplete zones and informs CNC control upon successful completion.
Features: The system includes gap and crash control, detecting initial contact and abnormal contact to prevent crashes. It allows operators to ensure full wheel dressing, control process aggressiveness, and maintain wheel quality.
Benefits: The system cuts cycle time, eliminates excess dressing, automates in-feed to prevent crashes, improves wheel surface quality, and extends the life of dressers and spindle bearings.
Parameters: Key parameters include Zone Minimum, Maximum Minimum, Ignore Level, and Zone Edit, which help in controlling and analyzing the dressing process.
Outputs: The system provides outputs for Gap Detect, Crash Detect, Process Minimum, and Process Maximum to the CNC.
Visualization: The system offers clear visualization of the dressing process timeline and relay status, with an easy-to-use interface.
Contact Information: Schmitt Industries, Inc. provides contact details for further information and support.

CONTROL THE DRESSING OF GRINDING WHEELS AUTOMATICALLY. ELIMINATE EXCESS GRINDING. EXTEND WHEEL LIFE. PREVENT CRASHES. ExactDress™ Wheel Dress process Control Card Improve dressing efficiency and extend wheel life. SBS ExactDress™ reduces dressing time and increases wheel life for both profiled and standard grinding wheels. ExactDress uses SBS AEMS proprietary acoustic sensor technology to monitor the high ­ requency signals generated on the grinding machine structure f ­ during the dressing process. It compares the current AE process signal of a wheel dress to a stored Reference waveform of a known good dress to determine and report when the dressing process has been successfully completed, maximizing the efficiency of the ­dressing process. Setup couldn’t be easier. Simply dress a wheel to teach the system the AE Reference waveform of a successful dressing process. The s ­ ystem maps the entire duration of the process and breaks it into time slices or “zones,” indicated by a bar graph on screen. ­ uring D operation, the system displays which (if any) of the zones in the dressing process are not complete, and informs the CNC control when the entire dress process has completed successfully. ExactDress also includes gap and crash control. Initial contact between ­ the wheel and the dressing tool can be detected so the machine ­ c ­ ontrol can stop wheel in-feed without operator inter­ ention, reducing v cycle time. It can also detect and report an ­ bnormal contact within a milliseconds, allowing the in-feed to be stopped, avoiding a crash, damage or injury. ExactDress monitoring permits the operator or CNC control to (1) determine if the wheel is being dressed fully across its width, (2) control the aggressiveness of the process, and (3) maintain the quality of the dressed wheel while conserving process time and wheel material. DC or AC Power Options: Green Zones exceeding the Zone Minimum limit are complete. Yellow Borderline zones nearing Out of Tolerance. Gray Learned Reference waveform shown in background. Red below the Zone Minimum limit are incomZones plete or defective. Blue Indicates zones which are below the Ignore Level. BENEFITS: Cut cycle time and increase productivity Eliminate excess dressing Automate dressing in-feed to prevent crashes and damage Improve wheel surface quality with precise monitoring Extend life of dressers and spindle bearings FEATURES: Enhances features of the AEMS Backed by world-class, worldwide SBS customer service Productivity through Precision Eine Produk

Productivity through Precision™ ExactDress™ Wheel Dress process Control Card DETAILS Measurement Parameters for Dressing Control Zone Minimum: This parameter specifies what percentage of the Reference Waveform must occur as a minimum at each zone of the process. During the teach process, the system divides the cycle automatically into zones. Each zone corresponds to a time slice of the entire process. During monitoring each zone of the current Process Signal is compared with the corresponding value of the Reference Waveform. If the zone minimum value percentage of the Reference is not achieved...
