Types of grinding machines and their characteristics

The classification of grinding machines has the following?

(1) Cylindrical grinder: It is a basic series of ordinary types, mainly used for grinding cylindrical and conical outer surfaces.
(2) Internal grinding machine: It is a basic series of ordinary types, mainly used for grinding cylindrical and conical inner surfaces. In addition, there are grinding machines with both internal and external cylindrical grinding.
(3) Coordinate grinding machine: an internal grinding machine with a precision coordinate positioning device.
(4) Centerless grinder: The workpiece is clamped centerlessly, generally supported between the guide wheel and the bracket, and the guide wheel drives the workpiece to rotate. It is mainly used for grinding cylindrical surfaces. For example, bearing shaft support, etc.



(5) Surface grinder: A grinder mainly used for grinding the plane of a workpiece.
a. The hand grinder is suitable for the processing of small-sized and high-precision workpieces, and can process various special-shaped workpieces including arc surfaces, planes, and grooves.
b. The large water mill is suitable for the processing of larger workpieces, and the processing accuracy is not high, which is different from the hand grinder.
(6) Abrasive belt grinder: A grinding machine that uses a fast-moving abrasive belt for grinding.
(7) Honing machine: a grinding machine for honing various surfaces of workpieces.
(8) Grinding machine: a grinding machine used to grind the plane or cylindrical inner and outer surfaces of the workpiece.
(9) Guide rail grinder: a grinder mainly used for grinding the guide rail surface of machine tools.
(10) Tool grinder: a grinder for grinding tools.
(11) Multi-purpose grinding machine: a grinding machine used for grinding cylindrical, conical inner and outer surfaces or planes, and capable of grinding various workpieces with follow-up devices and accessories.
(12) Special grinding machine: a special machine tool for grinding certain types of parts. According to its processing objects, it can be divided into: spline shaft grinder, crankshaft grinder, cam grinder, gear grinder, thread grinder, curve grinder, etc.
(13) End face grinder: A grinder for grinding the end face of gears.
