Classification and characteristics of cylindrical grinding machines.
Cut in cylindrical grinder: When the length of the workpiece grinding part is less than the width of the grinding wheel, the grinding wheel only needs to make continuous lateral feed without relative axial movement with the workpiece. This type of grinder has high productivity.
End face cylindrical grinder: The grinding wheel holder is tilted at an angle around the vertical axis, and the grinding wheel surface is polished into two grinding surfaces parallel and perpendicular to the workpiece axis. It can simultaneously grind the outer circle and shoulder end face of the workpiece, and is generally used for mass production.
Universal cylindrical grinder: The grinding wheel holder is equipped with an internal cylindrical grinding accessory, and the grinding wheel holder and head holder can adjust an angle around the vertical axis. In addition to rotating the dial on the head holder, the spindle can also rotate. This grinder can expand the processing range, grind inner holes and inner and outer conical surfaces with larger taper angles, and is suitable for small and medium-sized batch and single piece production.
In addition, there are double wheel frame cylindrical grinders and multi wheel cylindrical grinders, which can simultaneously grind two or more shaft necks and are suitable for mass production.
