An Introduction To Surface Grinders

Surface grinding is one of the most common grinding applications carried out to give a flat and smooth surface to the desired product. Surface grinder is a machine that is used for giving a smooth finish or light cut to various products with the use of abrasive wheel as the cutting tool. The wheel can be used on different types of stones, diamonds and inorganic materials. But, the selection of the grinding wheel is dependent upon the type of the material on which it has to be used.

Working Of The Surface Grinder

It comprises of a grinding wheel spinning at a considerable speed and bed that is used to hold and fix the work piece. The grinding can be done in two ways in which the grinding head has to be controlled as the work piece is fixed on the bed. In the second position, the head stays in place while the work piece moves. The position of the grinding head and the table can be controlled with CNC controllers.

The removal of the material from the surface generates a lot of heat that is controlled with the help of the coolant incorporated within the machine. The coolant prevents the surface from overheating and going beyond the tolerance limit. The coolant also serves as preventive measure to protect the user from burning. Let’s take a look at some of the Different Types Of commonly used Grinders that are available nowadays:

Different Types Of Commonly Used Grinders

• Horizontal-Spindle (Peripheral) Surface Grinders - In these grinders, the periphery of the wheel finishes the surface of the products. Here, the wheel is in constant contact with the work piece and offers high precision on flat surfaces, angles surfaces, profiles, recessed surfaces, etc.

• Vertical-Spindle (Wheel-Face) Grinders - In these grinders, the face of the cup, disc, cylinder or segmented wheel is used on the surface. Wheel-face grinding is done on flat surfaces and is one of the fastest methods of material removal. The work piece is either held on a reciprocating table or a rotary-table machine.
