Advantages of centerless grinders
A centerless grinder is a grinding machine in which the workpiece is not centered and is freely placed between the grinding wheel and the guide wheel, and is supported by a supporting plate.
Advantages of centerless grinders.
1. The characteristics of the centerless grinder are that it can process continuously without retracting the tool, has short copying time such as clamping the workpiece, and has high productivity.
2. The bracket and guide wheel positioning mechanism have better support rigidity than the top and center frame mechanism of ordinary cylindrical grinders, and the cutting amount can be larger, which is conducive to the processing of slender shaft workpieces, and it is easy to achieve high-speed grinding and powerful grinding.
3. The workpiece of a centerless grinder is positioned on the positioning mechanism by the outer circle. The grinding amount is the margin on the diameter of the workpiece. Therefore, the wear of the grinding wheel, the compensation of the feed mechanism and the repeated positioning accuracy error of the cutting mechanism have an impact on the diameter and dimensional accuracy of the part. It is only half the size of an ordinary cylindrical grinder, does not need to drill a center hole, and is easy to automate loading and unloading.
