Abstract

A double surface grinding method for a vertical type of double disc surface grinding machine in which upper and lower ground surfaces of a work like a disc brake are ground simultaneously. The entire vertical moving stroke of the grinding wheel includes an idle feed stroke in which the wheel moves at a specified idle feed speed from the waiting position to a detection start position before contacting with the ground surface; a detection stroke in which the wheel moves at a detection speed lower than the idle feed speed from the detection start position to a detection end position after contacting with the ground surface then the wheel detects a grinding start position; and a grinding stroke in which the wheel moves at a grinding speed from the grinding start position to a grinding end position. The grinding start position is set to a position corresponding to a time where a current of the grinding wheel rotation drive motor detected during the detection stroke increases from a value at no-load condition up to a specified value.
