Abstract
A centerless grinding machine having a control wheel and a grinding wheel for machining cylindrical workpieces is adjusted prior to a machining operation using a setting component having the same diameter as the workpiece. The setting component is used so as to ensure that a surface of the control wheel is aligned with a guide surface of an outlet guide so as to facilitate accurate machining. Relative movement of the control wheel and the outlet guide enables an electrically conducting portion of the setting component to complete an electrical circuit when the two surfaces are in alignment. A current meter is activated when alignment is achieved. The setting component enables the machine to be adjusted at a remote location. The machine may therefore be located within a shielded enclosure for machining nuclear fuel pellets.
