Grinding machines are vital in achieving fine finishes, precise shapes and accurate dimensions on a wide range of materials, particularly metals. They utilise an abrasive wheel to remove small amounts of material, typically around 0.25 mm to 0.50 mm in depth. Here is a guide to understanding surface, cylindrical, tool & cutter, 5-axis, CNC precision cylindrical pinch/peel and double-column surface grinders, detailing their functions and applications.
Surface grinder: Surface grinders are designed to grind flat surfaces with exceptional precision. There are various types of surfaces grinding machines, including creep feed grinding machines, spindle reciprocating table grinders and spindle rotary table grinders.
Cylindrical grinder: Cylindrical grinders are used to grind cylindrical surfaces on workpieces. They consist of several key components, including the base, bed, work head, tailstock, worktable and grinding wheel head,
Tool and cutter grinder: Tool and cutter grinders are used to sharpen and manufacture cutting tools such as milling cutters, drills, reamer, hole mill cutter, hobbling cutter, ball nose cutter & bullnose cutter, chamfer cutters and end mills. They find extensive use in metal-cutting and woodworking industries. CNC and cutter grinding machines have become indispensable assets across industries, revolutionising the manufacturing process.
5-axis tool and cutter grinder: A 5-axis grinding machine is a versatile tool and cutter grinder primarily used to shape and sharpen milling cutters and other tool bits. This machine can be equipped with various tools, allowing it to generate endless unique profiles.
