Grinding Machine

Learning Objectives
• At the end of session student must be familiar
with;
– Concept of Grinding
– Grinding machine & its uses
– Operations performed on grinding machine
Grinding Machine

• A machine tool used for grinding, called as Grinding Machine


• Grinding is a process to finish the work piece that must show high
surface quality
• A power driven abrasive wheel called as Grinder
• Each grain of abrasive on the wheel's surface cuts a small chip
from the work piece via shear deformation, which generates the
heat
• Coolant is used to cool the work piece so that it does not overheat
and go outside its tolerance
• The coolant also benefits the machinist as the heat generated may
cause burns in some cases.
• Grinder Material: Abrasive compound of Aluminum oxide, Silicon
carbide, Ceramics.
• They are classified as bench grinder, surface grinder, cylindrical
grinder.
Surface Grinder
• To smooth the flat
surface of metallic or
nonmetallic materials,
to give them a more
refined look or to attain
a desired surface for a
functional purpose.
• The surface grinder is
composed of an
abrasive wheel, a work
holding device, chuck &
a reciprocating table.
• The work table holds
the material in place
while it is being worked
on.
Cylindrical Grinder
• Work on a variety of shapes
(Cylindrical, Elliptical, Cam etc),
provided object must have a
central axis of rotation.
• Cylindrical grinding is defined
with four essential actions:
– The work must be constantly
rotating
– The grinding wheel must be
constantly rotating
– The grinding wheel is fed
towards and away from the
work
– Either the work or the grinding
wheel is traversed with the
respect to the other
Centerless Grinder
• Work piece is held between:
– Grinding wheel
– Regulating wheel
– Work holding platform
• Grinding wheel is stationary [not
moving] & rotates such that the
force applied to the work piece is
directed downward, against the
work holding platform
• Both wheels are rotating in the
same direction, but at different
speeds
Centerless Grinder
• Regulating wheel, is movable.
• Is positioned to apply lateral
pressure to the work piece, &
usually has either a very abrasive
to trap the work piece.
• The speed of the two wheels
relative to each other provides
the grinding action & determines
the material removal rate
• During operation the work piece
turns with the Regulating wheel,
with the same linear velocity at
the point of contact and without
slipping.
