Types of Grinding Machines
Grinding Machines
There are many types of Grinding Machines, we list some types below：
· Belt grinder,
which is usually used as a machining method to process metals and other materials, with the aid of coated abrasives. Analogous to a belt sander (which itself is often used for wood but sometimes metal).
Belt grinding is a versatile process suitable for all kind of applications, including finishing, deburring, and stock removal.
· Bench grinder
which usually has two wheels of different grain sizes for roughing and finishing operations and is secured to a workbench or floor stand. Its uses include shaping tool bits or various tools that need to be made or repaired. Bench grinders are manually operated.
· Cylindrical grinder
The cylindrical grinder is a type of grinding machine used to shape the outside of an object. The cylindrical grinder can work on a variety of shapes, however the object must have a central axis of rotation.
This includes but is not limited to such shapes as a cylinder, an ellipse, a cam, or a crankshaft.
· Surface grinder
Consists of an abrasive wheel, a chuck (a work piece holding device), and a rotary table. The chuck is used to hold the material in place while the wheel and object are rotated to produce a smooth finish.
· Tool and cutter grinder
Usually can perform the minor function of the drill bit grinder, or other specialist toolroom grinding operations.
· Jig grinder
As the name implies, has a variety of uses when finishing jigs, dies, and fixtures. Its primary function is in the realm of grinding holes for drill bushings and grinding pins. It can also be used for complex surface grinding to finish work started on a mill.
· Gear grinder
Which is usually employed as the final machining process when manufacturing a high-precision gear. The primary function of these machines is to remove the remaining few thousandths of an inch of material left by other manufacturing methods (such as gashing or hobbing).
· Die grinder
Which is a high-speed hand-held rotary tool with a small diameter grinding bit. They are typically air driven (using compressed air), but can be driven with a small electric motor directly or via a flexible shaft.
· Angle grinder,
Another handheld power tool, often used in fabrication and construction work.for your reference en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding_machine
