Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0339293A2] The method serves to grind cams (10) of a camshaft. The cams (10) are rotated at a predetermined angular velocity ( omega ) about a first axis (13) running through the centre of a base circle (15) of the cams (10). A grinding wheel (20) bears with a generating line (23) parallel to the first axis (13) against the cams (10). It is moved as a function of the rotary position ( phi ) of the cams (10) relative to the first axis (13) along a second axis (11) which is perpendicular to the first axis (13). This takes place in such a way that the generating line (23) travels on a predetermined cam contour (15, 16, 17) during the rotation of the cams (10), the angular velocity ( omega ) being varied during the rotation of the cams (10). In this way, the generating line (23) travels along the base circle (15) at higher angular velocity ( omega G), whereas it travels along flanks (16) and a tip (17) of the cams (10) at reduced angular velocity ( omega F). In order to reduce the remaining cam form errors without increasing the total grinding time, the angular velocity ( omega ) in the area of the tip (17) is set at a value ( omega S) above the reduced angular velocity ( omega F) but below the higher angular velocity ( omega G). <IMAGE>
