Loading device for a plunge cut grinding machine for center-less external cylindrical grinding and method for center-less external cylindrical grinding

The invention relates to a loading device (10) for a plunge cut grinding machine for center-less cylindrical grinding, comprising a receiving frame (14) for receiving a blank workpiece (16) to be machined, wherein the receiving frame (14) is open in the direction of gravity, and comprising a support body (12) for forming a supporting base (18) for the blank workpiece (16) received in the receivingframe (14), and comprising a displacement actuator (20) acting on the receiving frame (14) to axially displace the receiving frame (14) relative to the support body (12) into a grinding gap (22) of the plunge cut grinding machine where the receiving frame (14) is positioned offset to the support body (14), wherein the receiving frame (14) has a feed stop (32) on an end face, facing in the axial direction, to axially remove a machined workpiece (24) arranged in the grinding gap (22). Because the receiving frame (14) is designed to both remove the machined workpiece (24) and insert the blank workpiece (16), the workpie
