Four major changes in the development of surface grinding machines
1, High-speed, composite, high-precision, high rigidity is still the main theme of the development of metal cutting machine tools, but there are new changes. From the original composite for the composite to practical high-energy considerations, such as milling and turning composite, milling and drilling composite, milling and EDM composite; function, composite machine tools targeted at certain parts to consider. From the rigidity point of view, there has been the emergence of machining centers that can process 60HRC hardness material.
2, Modular design has been successfully applied to the machine tool manufacturing industry. Horizontal series, vertical series, full series, horizontal series of modular design, it seems to look exactly the same, the function is completely different. Many modules of surface grinding machines are common.
3, The concept of full automation has changed. Traditionally, fully automated machines used pneumatic or hydraulic manipulators to automate the loading and unloading of workpieces, but now true multi-jointed tandem robots are used for loading and unloading workpieces, including the stacking of finished parts. Increased control range, enhanced flexibility of the assembly line, greatly reducing the auxiliary supporting machinery.
4, Environmental protection requirements are getting higher and higher. In the exhibits on display, most of the machine tools are fully enclosed shell, there will be no chips or cutting fluid splash phenomenon. On the other hand, a large number of industrial cleaners and cutting fluid processor system on display also reflects the modern manufacturing industry is increasingly demanding environmental protection.
Surface grinding machine is a very potential machine tool in the grinding machine, in addition to the traditional surface grinding function, in the bed, drag plate, table, grinding head and other large parts of the surface grinding basis, can be evolved into cylindrical, curved surfaces, cutting tools, centerless and other grinding machines. After completing the perfection of the plane grinding specification series, China should jump out of the traditional thinking of plane grinding and turn to the thinking of non-plane grinding such as curves or contours for further development to form the technology and products with Chinese characteristics.
