    1) Grinding is a machining process that involves removing material from a workpiece through the use of abrasive particles. It produces a very smooth surface finish. 2) In grinding, a rotating abrasive wheel removes a thin layer of material from the workpiece through abrasive cutting action. 3) Grinding machines come in various types depending on the shape and orientation of the workpiece and grinding wheel, such as surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and centerless grinders.

    GRINDING (Abrasive machining)

     Grinding is a surface finishing operation where very thin layer of material


    is removed in the form of fine dust particles. (thickness 0.25-0.5mm)

     Grinding can be defined as a material removal process by the abrasive


    action between rotating abrasive wheel & the work piece.

     Grinding machine is a power operated machine tool where, the work piece
    is fed against a constantly rotating abrasive wheel which is also called as
    Grinding wheel so that a thin layer of material is removed from the work
    piece.
    PRINCIPLE OF GRINDING

    The work piece is fed against a constantly

    rotating abrasive wheel so that a thin layer

    of material is removed from the it.

    FIG. GRINDING
    INTRODUCTION TO GRINDING PROCESS

    • It is the only economical method of cutting hard material like hardened


    steel.

    • It produces very smooth surface , suitable for bearing surface.

    • Surface pressure is minimum in grinding. It is suitable for light work,which


    will spring away from the cutting tool in the other machining processes.
    GRINDING PROCESS
    CLASSIFICATION OF GRINDING MACHINES

    Grinding machines are classified based on their


    construction & type of surface produced.

    1. Bench Grinding Machine


    2. Surface Grinding Machine
    3. Cylindrical Grinding Machine
    4. Centerless Grinding Machine
    5. Internal Grinding Machine
    6. Special Purpose Grinding Machine
    1. SURFACE GRINDING MACHINE

    Principle: The work piece is fed


    against a constantly rotating abrasive
    wheel so that a thin layer of material
    is removed from the it.

    Work Piece Type: Flat, Angular &


    FIG. PRINCIPLE OF SURFACE GRINDING
    Irregular surfaces
    SURFACE GRINDING MACHINE

     This machine may be similar to a milling machine used mainly to grind flat surface. However, some
    types of surface grinders are also capable of producing contour surface with formed grinding wheel.

     Basically there are four different types of surface grinding machines characterised by the movement
    of their tables and the orientation of grinding wheel spindles as follows:

    • Horizontal spindle and reciprocating table


    • Vertical spindle and reciprocating table
    • Horizontal spindle and rotary table
    • Vertical spindle and rotary table

    CYLINDRICAL GRINDING MACHINE

    Principle:
    The work piece is held between two
    centers & and the rotating grinding
    wheel is fed against it.

    External Grinding machine


    FIG. PRINCIPLE OF CYLINDRICAL
    GRINDING
    Work Piece Type: Cylindrical surfaces
    may be straight, curved or contoured.
    CYLINDRICAL GRINDING MACHINE

     This machine is used to produce external cylindrical surface. The surfaces may
    be straight, tapered, steps or profiled. Broadly there are three different types of
    cylindrical grinding machine as follows:

    1. Plain centre type cylindrical grinder

    2. Universal cylindrical surface grinder

    3. Centreless cylindrical surface grinder


    Plain centre type cylindrical grinder
    Universal cylindrical surface grinder

     Universal cylindrical grinder is similar to a plain cylindrical one except that it


    is more versatile. In addition to small worktable swivel, this machine provides
    large swivel of head stock, wheel head slide and wheel head mount on the
    wheel head slide.
    Special application of cylindrical grinder

     Principle of cylindrical grinding is being used for thread grinding with


    specially formed wheel that matches the thread profile. A single ribbed wheel
    or a multi ribbed wheel can be used as shown in Fig. below.
    FIG. CYLINDRICAL GRINDING MACHINE
    Cylindrical Grinding Machine
    CENTERLESS GRINDING MACHINE
    Principle: The work piece is placed on work rest
    blade between two wheels namely grinding &
    regulating wheel, which are rotating in clockwise &
    work piece rotates counter clockwise. Grinding
    wheel remove material from W/P surface &
    regulating wheel regulates the W/P.

    Centerless: Means work piece is not held between


    centers. FIG. PRINCIPLE OF
    CENTERLESS GRINDING
    Work Piece Type: Curved or Cylindrical surfaces
    of long slender rods which cannot be ground on
    cylindrical grinding.
    Centre less Grinding
    Centre less Grinding machine
    External centreless grinder

     This grinding machine is a production machine in which out side diameter of


    the workpiece is ground. The workpiece is not held between centres but by a
    work support blade. It is rotated by means of a regulating wheel and ground by
    the grinding wheel.
    Internal grinding machine

     This machine is used to produce internal cylindrical surface. The surface


    may be straight, tapered, grooved or profiled.

     Broadly there are three different types of internal grinding machine as


    follows:

    1. Chucking type internal grinder


    2. Planetary internal grinder
    3. Centreless internal grinder
    Chucking type internal grinder

     The workpiece is usually mounted in a chuck. A magnetic face plate can also
    be used. A small grinding wheel performs the necessary grinding with its
    peripheral surface. Both transverse and plunge grinding can be carried out in
    this machine.
    Planetary internal grinder

     Planetary internal grinder is used where the workpiece is of irregular shape and
    can not be rotated conveniently as shown in Fig. below. In this machine the
    workpiece does not rotate. Instead, the grinding wheel orbits the axis of the
    hole in the workpiece.
    Centreless internal grinder

     This machine is used for grinding cylindrical and tapered holes in cylindrical
    parts (e.g. cylindrical liners, various bushings etc). The workpiece is rotated
    between supporting roll, pressure roll and regulating wheel and is ground by
    the grinding wheel.
