14 important components of the Heartless Grinding Machine

We agree that a centerless grinder is definitely more complex than a pencil sharpener. But this does not mean that centerless grinding is difficult to succeed or unreliable. In fact, most centerless grinding machine users have almost no difficulties in using it. Let's start this journey of understanding centerless grinding by going through the "main components that make up centerless grinding machines".

For experienced readers, this article will be an opportunity for you to review and once again confirm whether what you believe is correct. For beginners, this will be the practical content you want to keep.

Machine bed(机台底座/机床)

The machine base is a sturdy heavy-duty cast iron structure that supports other components of the machine. It houses the hydraulic oil tank and grinding wheel head assembly.

Tip: A machine with a sturdy base will increase its rigidity and reduce vibration.

Swivel plate(旋转盘)

The rotating disc is a short cast iron component that is mounted on the base with ear shafts. By adjusting the turntable, the adjustment wheel can be aligned correctly with the grinding wheel.

Grinding wheel(砂轮)

Grinding wheel is a cutting tool used to remove some workpieces. It is made of abrasive particles and binders,

Grinding wheel dresser(砂轮修整器)

The grinding wheel conditioner is installed behind the grinding wheel and uses diamonds to adjust the grinding wheel

Grinding wheel head(研磨头)

The grinding head that fixes the grinding wheel is a movable housing that is bolted to the base,

The wheel head and spindle inside the grinding wheel head have a spindle that supports the grinding wheel. A high-precision spindle will support and rotate the grinding wheel,

Lower slide(下滑轨)

The lower slide rail installed on the rotating plate is used to control the adjustment wheel and workpiece frame, while advancing or retracting towards the grinding wheel. Upper slide

Installed on the lower slide rail, it is used to control the orientation or distance of the adjustment wheel from the workpiece rack. It includes a drive device for adjusting the wheels.

Dual compensation infeed assembly(双补偿进料组件)

The dual compensation feed assembly consists of two precision ball threaded rods and is installed on the upper and lower slide rails. This component is used to adjust the machine to fit the size of the workpiece.

Regulating wheel(调整轮)

The adjustment wheel is made of rubber binder mixed with abrasive. It has the function of supporting the workpiece and driving it to rotate.

Regulating wheel dresser(调整轮修整器)

The adjustment wheel trimmer is installed on the adjustment wheel housing and uses diamonds to trim the adjustment wheel

Regulating wheel head(调整轮头)

The adjustment wheel head is installed on the surface of the upper slide rail and can rotate on that surface. The main shaft includes adjustment wheels and adjustment wheels.

Work rest(工件架)

The workpiece rack is installed on the lower slider to support the cutting plate.

Blade(刀板)

The cutting plate is fixed on the workpiece rack to support the workpiece.
