Types of Fine Grinding Machines
1. Surface Grinders
– Used for flat surfaces with high precision.
– Can be manual or CNC-controlled.
– Example: Okamoto ACC-SA Series.
2. Cylindrical Grinders
– For external and internal cylindrical grinding.
– Ideal for shafts, bearings, and precision components.
– Example: Studer S33 CNC Universal Cylindrical Grinder.
3. Centerless Grinders
– Used for high-volume production of cylindrical parts without centers.
– Example: Royal Master TG12X4 Centerless Grinder.
4. Jig Grinders
– High-precision grinding for molds, dies, and fixtures.
– Example: Moore G18 Jig Grinder.
5. Tool & Cutter Grinders
– For sharpening milling cutters, drills, and reamers.
– Example: ANCA TX7 CNC Tool Grinder.
6. Honing Machines
– Achieves ultra-fine surface finishes (e.g., engine cylinders).
– Example: Sunnen HTA-1000 Honing Machine.
7. Lapping & Polishing Machines
– For mirror-like finishes (e.g., optical lenses, silicon wafers).
– Example: Lapmaster 12″ Lapping Machine.
Key Features of Fine Grinding Machines
– High spindle speeds (up to 60,000 RPM for some applications).
– Precision linear guides and ball screws for accuracy (±0.0001″).
– Coolant systems to prevent thermal distor.jpg)
