Introducing the classification and application of surface grinding machine

A surface grinder is a machine tool that uses a high-speed rotating grinding wheel to perform precision grinding on workpieces. Understanding different types of surface grinders helps to choose the most suitable processing technology and improve production efficiency and processing accuracy.

Vertical surface grinder

Vertical surface grinders process workpieces through a grinding wheel with a vertical spindle, and are suitable for grinding large planes and complex shapes.

Applicable processing:

①Large surface grinding: Suitable for workpieces with large planes such as machine tool beds, large molds, castings, etc., and high-precision flatness is achieved through a high-speed grinding wheel with a vertical spindle. ②Precision processing of complex shapes: Suitable for processing workpieces with complex geometric shapes such as grooves, steps, and bevels, such as the base and guide surface of large equipment, to improve surface finish and shape accuracy. ③Processing with high requirements for flatness and verticality: Specially used for processing with high requirements for workpiece flatness and verticality, such as processing high-precision machine tool parts, automobile engine cylinder blocks and part assembly surfaces. ④ High-precision machining of heavy workpieces: Due to the stability of the vertical structure, it is suitable for machining workpieces with large weight and high-precision control, such as the contact surface of large machinery, steel structure plates, etc. ⑤ Application of automated production lines: It is suitable for efficient automated production lines. Through modification and configuration, it can be used for continuous batch processing to improve production efficiency.

Horizontal surface grinder

The horizontal surface grinder processes workpieces through the grinding wheel of the horizontal spindle. It is widely used for precision grinding of general planes and simple geometric shapes.

Applicable processing:

① Plane grinding of small and medium-sized workpieces: It is suitable for plane machining of various small and medium-sized parts, such as bearing seats, flanges and gaskets, etc., providing good flatness and surface finish. ② End and side machining: It is suitable for machining workpieces that require precision end faces and sides, such as tools, fixture parts and tooling plates, etc., and efficient grinding is achieved through the horizontal spindle grinding wheel. ③ Precision plane machining in mass production: It is suitable for batch grinding of medium-sized parts on the production line, especially in the production of automotive parts, home appliance parts, etc. ④ Machining of slender and flat parts: suitable for surface grinding of slender workpieces, thin plates, steel plates and other similar workpieces, ensuring that the workpieces are not easily deformed and achieve the expected accuracy. ⑤ Machining of precision matching surfaces: used to process parts that require high matching, such as hydraulic pump housings, mechanical contact surfaces and sealing surfaces, etc., to meet the matching accuracy requirements between parts. ⑥ Dressing of tools and molds: commonly used in mold manufacturing and dressing processes to ensure that the mold surface and tool working surface achieve the required accuracy and surface quality.

Gantry surface grinder

The gantry surface grinder adopts a gantry frame structure, equipped with a large worktable and multi-axis linkage control, suitable for high-precision plane and complex surface grinding of large-sized workpieces.

Applicable processing:

① Surface grinding of super-large workpieces: suitable for precision machining of large-sized planes such as large molds, machine tool beds, bridge components, etc., and can provide excellent flatness and surface finish. ② Grinding of wide and complex shapes: specially used for machining workpieces with wide width and multiple shape features, such as large steel plates, complex surfaces of aviation parts and mechanical bases, to ensure high-precision shape control. ③ Processing of precision guide rails and reference surfaces: suitable for grinding the guide rail surfaces and reference surfaces of various precision machinery, such as the sliding guide rails of CNC machine tools, the working surfaces of precision measuring tools, etc., to ensure flatness and straightness. ④ Processing of heavy castings and welded parts: used for surface grinding of castings and welded components of heavy machinery, such as large motor housings, ship decks, heavy equipment bases, etc., to improve the overall assembly accuracy. ⑤ Multi-station linkage processing: can cooperate with multi-axis linkage control to realize simultaneous processing of multiple parts, improve processing efficiency, and is suitable for mass production of large structural parts. ⑥ Precision processing of plates and large flat parts: widely used in surface finishing of various large plates, steel plates and aluminum alloy plates, meeting the high-precision requirements of aerospace, shipbuilding and large machinery manufacturing. ⑦ Processing of rail transportation and heavy industrial equipment: specially used for the processing of basic parts of rail transportation parts and heavy industrial equipment to ensure the flatness and processing accuracy of key parts.
