MACHINE CONTROL FOR GRINDING MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18143150 titled 'MACHINE CONTROL FOR GRINDING MACHINE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a grinding machine that consists of several components and features.
- The machine includes a support pedestal that holds a drive motor, which in turn supports an abrasive wheel that can rotate.
- There is a motor drive that is connected to the drive motor, allowing for control and operation.
- A safety controller is connected to both the drive motor and motor drive, ensuring safe operation of the machine.
- An emergency stop (E-stop) button is also connected to the safety controller, providing a quick way to halt the machine in case of an emergency.
- A foot pedal switch is connected to the safety controller, allowing for convenient and hands-free operation of the machine.
- The machine is powered by a 480 volt alternating current 3 phase electrical power supply, providing the necessary power for the drive motor and other components.
Original Abstract Submitted
A grinding machine including a support pedestal that supports a drive motor that supports an abrasive wheel rotatably coupled to the drive motor; a motor drive operatively coupled to the drive motor; a safety controller operatively coupled with the drive motor and motor drive; an E-stop operatively coupled to the safety controller; a foot pedal switch operatively coupled to the safety controller; and a 480 volt alternating current 3 phase electrical power supply electrically coupled to the drive motor.
