BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in
understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the
information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed
invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Conventionally, components such as trip plates are manually loaded
on the fixture and clamped with the help of a toggle. The process included grinding the Trip Plate by oscillating the fixture by hand to achieve desire cut. For radius cut the component is to be manually oscillated by hand until the desired cut is not achieved meanwhile, with the help of the other hand feed is given to the component in either (X-Axis or in Z-Axis) direction. The operator must set the radius fixture on the grinding bed. The alignment of the fixture with the grinding bed is done by the operator after dressing of wheel is done. The component is then loaded, and radius cut is made on one of its surfaces. The radius cut is done on 80 components by oscillating the fixture by hand on the circumference of the Grinding wheel. After the radius cut is completed for a lot of 80nos, the radius fixture is removed, and the chamfer fixture is located and aligned in the same way as it is done for the radius fixture. This is very laborious and time-consuming process since it is done manually. Also, there are high chances of misalignment in parallelism of fixture and grinding bed. The chamfer cut is taken on those components on which the radius cut was done i.e. those 80nos. The chamfer cut is done by reciprocating the grinding bed in X-Axis until the desired cut is gained. This is very much time consuming and
[0004] There is, therefore, a need of an improved system for grinding trip
plates, which is free from above discussed problems.
