Surface Grinding
Surface grinding is done on flat surfaces to produce a smooth finish.It is a widely used abrasive machining process in which a spinning wheel covered in rough particles (grinding wheel) cuts chips of metallic or nonmetallic substance from a workpiece, making a face of it flat or smooth.
Types
- Horizontal-spindle (peripheral) surface grinders
- Vertical-spindle (wheel-face) grinders
- Disc grinders and double-disc grinders
- Grinding wheels for surface grinders
Applications
- It is useful for the grinding of various tools and cutters.
- It is used to finish flat surfaces and cylindrical surfaces.
- Abrasive milling can be performed on the workpieces.
- It is used in various industries and institutions.
Advantage
- A high surface finish can be produced.
- It can produce a smooth surface on metallic and non-metallic surfaces also.
- High productivity.
- No skilled operator is required.
- Manual and Automatic operations can be performed on it.
- The work can be easily performed on this machine.
