Automatic end-spring-grinding
The document describes an automatic end grinding machine that was modified to grind both faces of springs up to 300mm in diameter, reducing the grinding time in half compared to single face grinding. The machine uses two grinding wheels connected to a motor via bearings, rack, and pinion setup. A work holding device holds the spring and coincides with the wheel axis, regulated by a gearbox and motor. Vacuum pressure removes grinding debris from the work area. The overall setup is enclosed in a cast iron casing. The modifications result in better spring production efficiency while maintaining the same overall efficiency as single face grinding.

Here, I have modified the machine for easy operation of high range of diameter of about 300mm and to operate double face grinding. The arrangement of the machine is that the grinding wheels are placed in an axis the machine. The grinding wheels setup is made to connect the motor arrangement using bearings and rack and pinion setup. The work hold device is made to coincide to the axis of the wheels. The device is regulated by the application of gear box and motor. The wear of the abrasive material is sucked using the vacuum pressure which is placed perpendicular to the work holding device. The overall setup is covered by the casing of cast iron. The overall efficiency is same compared to the single face grinding but the work time reduces to half the wheel differences can be adjusted as per user needs. The power transmission can be controlled using bearings. I concluded that the above mentioned advantages result in better advancement in the production of springs.
