1. FUNCTIONS OF
GRINDING MACHINE
Grinding is used to finish workpiece
that must show high surface quality
(e.g. low surface roughness) and
high accuracy of shape and
dimension.
It is also used in abrasive machining,
abrasive planing, automatic grinding,
back grinding, and ball grinding,
deburring,dimensioning, sharpening,
honing, and rubbing applications.
PROCEDURE
Adjust the surface grinding
machine so that grinding head and
worktable are absolutely parallel
Place the guard over the wheel
and check security of all adjustable
members of the grinding machine
for rigidity and lack of backlash.
True and dress the grinding wheel.
Mount the work piece to the work
table. Make sure the surface to be
ground is parallel to the worktable
and the grinding wheel.
Adjust wheel speed, work speed
and work feed.
Proceed with grinding, adjusting
depth of cut as necessary.
Check for accuracy between each
cut and determine that the work
piece is square and the wheel is
not out of alignment
