Abstract
A grinding machine comprises a grinding spindle which can be displaced in a horizontal plane relative to a workpiece. The grinding spindle drives a grinding wheel, which is mounted for rotary movement about a horizontal axis, and is arranged on a swivel carriage arranged for rotary movement about a vertical axis relative to a base plate. A measuring device is provided for detecting the rotary position of the swivel carriage relative to the base plate comprise a first sensor element which is rigidly connected to the base plate and a second sensor element that can be rotated together with the swivel carriage. In order to simplify the measuring device and to make it easily accessible the sensor elements are arranged outside the said swivel carriage and the second sensor element is connected to the swivel carriage via a power transmission.
