Abstract An Auto-sizer is a contact-type diameter measurement device used in the in-process direct sizing grinding cycle, a special feature of the cylindrical grinding process. Because this is a contact-type measuring device, when foreign materials such as abrasive grains or machining chips in the coolant are trapped between the contact measuring terminal and the workpiece, they cause diameter dimensional defects. This newly developed system can detect foreign material interference by monitoring the dimensional data by CNC during the grinding process in real time by means of the Auto-sizer, and then remove the foreign material via forward/backward movement of the Auto-sizer head to prevent diameter dimension defects.
