A grinding machine that uses a centerless grinding method to grind the rotating surface of a workpiece is commonly referred to as a centerless cylindrical grinding machine. On a centerless cylindrical grinding machine, the workpiece is not centered and supported by the center, but is placed between the grinding wheel and the guide wheel and supported by the tray and guide wheel.
The grinding wheel is generally installed at the end of the spindle, and the grinding wheel with a width greater than 250mm is installed in the middle of the spindle. The width of the grinding wheel can reach 900mm. The grinding wheel rotates at a high speed for grinding, and the guide wheel rotates at a slower speed in the same direction, thereby driving the workpiece to rotate for circular feed.
During grinding, axial feed is achieved by adjusting the slight inclination of the guide wheel shaft, which is suitable for grinding elongated cylindrical workpiece, short shaft without central hole, and sleeve type workpiece. In the process of plunge grinding, radial feed is achieved through the movement of a guide wheel frame or grinding wheel frame. It is suitable for grinding workpieces with shoulders or bosses, as well as cones, spheres, or other workpieces with curved curves.
Centerless grinding machines have high productivity and are easy to automate with the addition of various handling devices. Most of them are used for mass production and can be operated by unskilled workers. The grinding accuracy of centerless grinding machines is generally 2 microns for roundness and 4 microns for dimensional accuracy. High precision centerless grinding machines can reach 0.5 microns and 2 microns respectively. In addition, there are centerless internal grinding machines and centerless thread grinding machines.
Centerless grinder can automatically trim and compensate. The guide wheel feed guide rail is a dual V-shaped needle roller guide wheel supplied by a servo motor and can be mutually compensated by grinding wheel trimming. The machine tool is equipped with an automatic loading and unloading mechanism for automatic circular grinding.
