Cylindrical Grinder

A cylindrical grinding machine is used to shape the outside of an object or a workpiece. It is meant to work on cylinders, rods, and other similar workpieces. It can also work on other shapes but the workpiece must have a central axis of rotation. Its prime purpose is to produce high-precision goods by extracting small amounts of metal from the material. It improves the quality of the surface and lowers the roughness to give finishing to the material.

Parts of a cylindrical grinding machine

• Base
• Wheel Head
• Grinding Wheel
• Headstock
• Chuck
• Belt Pulley
• Tailstock
• Table

Working Principle

• The workpiece is placed between the headstock and tailstock.
• The workpiece rotates in one direction while the grinding wheel rotates in the opposite direction. 
• The workpiece is rotated between the centers rapidly.
• The grinding wheel does the actual grinding part by rotation at different speeds from the workpiece. 
• The workpiece is attached to the wheel head, which moves the grinder in patterns like plunge or traverse movements. 
• Both the table and the grinding wheel works in diverse movement.
• It works in a similar way to a lathe machine would, except a grinding wheel is used in this instead of a stationary cutting tool.
• Cylindrical Grinding Machine is of different types – outside diameter grinding, inside diameter grinding, plunge grinding, creep feed grinding, and centreless grinding.

Applications

• High-precision work in metalworking, automobile, military, electric, and plumbing industries.
• Manufacturing and finishing of metal goods such as rods, coils, tubes, and covers.
