Grinding Machines
To make precision cuts that produce very fine finishes, a grinding machine removes material from a workpiece by abrasion, using a power-driven grinding wheel as a cutting tool spinning at a required speed determined by wheel diameter and manufacturer’s rating, along with a bed-mounted fixture to guide and hold the workpiece. The grinding head can be controlled to travel across the fixed workpiece, or the workpiece can move while the grinding head remains in a fixed position. Types of precision grinding operations include centerless grinding, cylindrical grinding, form grinding, surface grinding and more.

How to develop and nurture your own innovation hub.
After some accidents and trials with less efficient alternatives that caused problems and delayed work, this railway group got on board with replacing their old grinding and cutting devices with new equipment that would eliminate workplace risks without sacrificing productivity.
The use of smaller abrasives and supporting tools is growing in shops that are less concerned about stock removal and heavy deburring but need to produce parts with fine finishes, want more control for less gouging of parts, and desire improved ergonomics.
A Schütte WU 305 Linear 5-axis universal tool and cutter grinder helped Micropulse enter the knee joint, hip broach and other end product market areas they could not compete in before.
Both a grinding and a turning machine, EMAG’s VLC 350 GT speeds transmission component production by enabling multiple machining processes of chucked parts in a single clamping operation. The flexible machine handles diameters up to 14 inches.
Bourn & Koch’s MT3 increases productivity and quality. The one-and-done machine can perform grinding, milling, turning, and drilling/tapping machining operations on a workpiece in one setup.
Walter’s Helitronic Raptor and two-in-one Helitronic Raptor Diamond (grinding/EDM) are aimed at shops that don’t require features like automatic tool support systems or automatic wheel/electrode changers, but want a high degree of flexibility for diverse tool types.
