Introduction and automation solutions for centerless grinders and CNC centerless grinders
A centerless grinder is a type of grinder that does not require axial positioning of the workpiece for grinding. It is mainly composed of three mechanisms: a grinding wheel, an adjusting wheel and a workpiece support. The grinding wheel is actually responsible for the grinding work, and the adjusting wheel controls The workpiece rotates and controls the feed speed of the workpiece. As for the workpiece support, it supports the workpiece during grinding. There are several ways to cooperate with these three types of machine parts. Except for stopping grinding, the principles are the same.
Centerless grinders include standard centerless grinders and CNC centerless grinders. Standard centerless grinders are low-cost, but require too much manual intervention, and the dressing and adjustment of the grinding wheel are relatively dependent on people; CNC centerless grinders are expensive, but due to their high automation performance, For example, automatic dressing of grinding wheels, automatic correction and positioning, etc., make CNC centerless grinders a competitive advantage of enterprises and can bring higher benefits to enterprises.
As a mature enterprise, while considering benefits, it should also learn more from other feasible solutions, such as automated transformation of centerless grinders, automated solutions, etc. The automatic loading and unloading manipulator produced and developed by our company can further improve the automation of centerless grinders and CNC centerless grinders. For example, a standard centerless grinder can realize automatic loading and unloading after installing our manipulator. The same worker can operate multiple devices at the same time, which doubles the production efficiency. Secondly, the CNC centerless grinder not only automates itself, but also cooperates with Our manipulator automatically changes materials and can be regarded as a "unmanned operating machine", which is a substantial improvement in production efficiency for all walks of life.
