Cylindrical Grinding Machine

This document discusses three main types of cylindrical grinding machines: plain cylindrical grinding machines, universal cylindrical grinding machines, and center-less cylindrical grinding machines. Plain cylindrical grinding machines can grind to size and finish the diameter of a workpiece. Universal cylindrical grinding machines are more versatile as the wheelhead and headstock can swivel. Center-less cylindrical grinding machines do not support the workpiece on centers but rather use a work rest blade, regulating wheel, and grinding wheel.

Cycle Patterns in Cylindrical Grinding

Grinding a Non-cylindrical Part on Cylindrical Grinder

Schematic illustration of grinding a non-cylindrical part on a cylindrical


grinder with computer controls to produce the shape. The part rotation
and the distance x between centers is varied and synchronized to grind
the particular work piece shape.

Thread Grinding

Thread grinding by (a) traverse and (b) plunge grinding

Plunge Grinding

Plunge grinding of a workpiece on a cylindrical grinder with the wheel dressed to a


stepped shape

Plain Cylindrical Grinding Machine

Working of Plain Cylindrical Grinder


Figure illustrates schematically this machine and
various motions required for grinding action. The
machine is similar to a centre lathe in many
respects. The work piece is held between head
stock and tailstock centres. A disc type grinding
wheel performs the grinding action with its
peripheral surface. Both traverse and plunge
grinding can be carried out in this machine

Internal Grinding Operations

Schematic illustrations of internal grinding operations: (a) traverse


grinding, (b) plunge grinding, and (c) profile grinding

Universal Cylindrical Grinder

Universal Cylindrical Grinder Working

Universal cylindrical grinder is similar to a plain cylindrical one


except that it is more versatile. In addition to small worktable
swivel, this machine provides large swivel of head stock, wheel
head slide and wheel head mount on the wheel head slide .
This allows grinding of any taper on the work piece. Universal
grinder is also equipped with an additional head for internal
grinding as shown in figure

Centerless Grinders

Work not supported on centers but by


work rest blade, a regulating wheel, and a
grinding wheel

14

How Centerless Grinders


Work

Work supported on work rest blade equipped


with suitable guides
Rotation of grinding wheel forces work onto
rest blade against regulating wheel
Regulating wheel controls speed of work and
longitudinal feed movement
Centers fixed diameter of work controlled by
distance between wheels and height of work
rest blade

Centerless Grinding Operations

Schematic illustration of centerless grinding operations: (a) through-feed


grinding, (b) plunge grinding, (c) internal grinding, and (d) a computer
numerical-control cylindrical-grinding machine
