Surface grinding

Surface grinding is employed for the manufacture of plane surfaces on a work piece. For machining of bearing surfaces on cast, pressed or forged parts, rough grinding is employed. Grinding is always economical than milling and planning. In many cases, workpieces are finish ground accurate to size and with high surface quality without any other machining process. Surface grinding can be executed with a cup wheel or with a disc wheel. The grinding table here is designed for reciprocating work. Machines with vertical grinding spindle are used when the surface to be ground is hporizontal. Machines with horizontal grinding spindle are used when the grinding surface has a vertical position to the bearing surface.
