| Centerless cylindrical grinding machines mainly employ three grinding methods: through-feed, plunge, and plunge-through. Through-feed centerless grinding involves feeding the workpiece along the axis of the grinding wheel. Axial feed is achieved by adjusting the slight angle of the guide wheel axis. It is suitable for grinding slender cylindrical workpieces, short shafts without holes, and sleeve-like workpieces. Plunge centerless grinding uses an axial positioning fulcrum on the support plate. The workpiece is supported at a specific position on the support plate, and grinding is performed by the grinding wheel or guide wheel penetrating the workpiece. It is used for grinding workpieces with shoulders or bosses, as well as conical, spherical, or other rotating workpieces. Plunge-through centerless grinding is a combination of both. In addition, there are tangential feed grinding and end-face feed grinding, where stepped workpieces are fed axially and retractably from the end face. Centerless cylindrical grinding machines have high productivity and are widely used in mass production, easily automating the process. |
