Birmingham Machine Tool Services provide the highest quality surface grinding service.
Our customer's requirements are always met, and often beaten.
In this post, we wanted to share with you the different types of surface grinders and what they are best used for.
Horizontal-spindle surface grinders
The flat edge of the wheel will be in contact with the piece that is being worked on which would produce a flat surface. Horizontal-spindle grinding is often used for pieces that require extreme precision on the flat surfaces, along with tapered or angled surfaces.
Vertical-spindle grinders
The face of the wheel (either a segmental wheel, a cylinder, cup, or disk) is used against the flat surface. Verticle-spindle grinding is mainly used for the removal of materials; machines can also be used for work that requires precision.
The piece that is being worked on will be held on a reciprocating table, or on a rotary-table machine with either a constant or indexed rotation - indexing is used so to allow loading or unloading at another station whilst the grinding is executed at another station.
Disc and double-disc grinders
Similar to surface grinding, disk grinding is able to work on a much larger area between the disk and piece. They can come in both horizontal and vertical spindle types. As predicted, double-disc grinders work both sides of the workpiece simultaneously.
