SURFACE GRINDING

CYLLINDRICAL GRINDING

CENTERLESS GRINDING

Grinding is a process to produce a high quality surface finish with very less tolerance, it is also used for machining of hard materials. It has a grinding wheel which rotates at a very high pace along the circumference of the work piece.

GRINDING WHEEL ABRASIVES BONDING ELEMENTS GRIT GRADE

Grinding Wheel is an expandable wheel which carries an abrasive compound on its periphery. These wheels are made up of coarse particles, compressed together to form a circular wheel.

Abrasives are very small pieces of any hard material, which can be used for cutting operations Ex) Diamond, Tungsten Carbide, Ceramic etc.

Bonding Material is the glue which is used to stick the ABRASIVES on the GRINDING WHEEL. Ex) Resin, Plastics, Rubber, Oxy-Chloride

Both the tool and the work piece are rotated by separate motors and at different speeds. The axes of rotation tool can be adjusted to produce a variety of shapes.
