Grinding device and process for generating a rake face with a variable axial chip angle

摘要

A control unit (39) regulates a positioning device (38) that moves a grinding tool (37). The unit has modules to respectively guide the tool for machining predetermined face-end and circumferential chip spaces, and determine a corner cutting face from a predetermined face-end and circumferential cutting edges. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) a grinding program; (B) a data storage medium; (C) a method for generating or machining a chip space geometry on a metal cutting tool; and (D) a grinding tool.
