Precautions for Installing Centerless Grinding machines Wheel

Release time:2021-04-16

After using the Centerless Grinding machines for a period of time, if the grinding wheel wears out and cannot be repaired, a new grinding wheel needs to be replaced, otherwise it will affect the machining quality of the workpiece. The centerless grinder grinding wheel is fixed by a grinding wheel chuck, relying on a cone sleeve and a chuck cover to clamp the grinding wheel in the middle. A layer of paper pad or oil resistant rubber with a thickness of more than 1 millimeter must be placed between the end face of the grinding wheel and the chuck. Make the pressure evenly distributed, and the tightening force of the hexagon socket screw should not be too large, otherwise the grinding wheel is prone to breakage.

  Due to the heavy weight of the grinding wheel in the centerless grinder, two static or dynamic balance tests must be conducted to adjust the new grinding wheel after installation. If it is unbalanced, the grinding wheel will produce vibration during high-speed operation, which will affect the machining accuracy. Dynamic balancing requires the use of a dynamic balancing instrument, while static balancing requires the use of a balancing frame and balancing spindle.

  Dynamic balancing is measured using instruments, which I won't introduce here. Generally, for static balancing, newly purchased machine tools will come with a set. Place the balance spindle into the cone sleeve of the newly installed grinding wheel's chuck and secure it with a nut. Then they are placed together on the balance frame, and several balance weights are installed in the annular groove of the grinding wheel chuck. By adjusting the position of the balance weights, the center of gravity of the grinding wheel is aligned with its axis of rotation. Then install it on the machine tool, use a grinding wheel dresser to round the grinding wheel, and place it back on the balance frame. Balance again according to the above method. Finally, it was installed back onto the machine tool, which is considered complete. Attention when doing cutting and grinding, make sure that the outer end face of the grinding wheel is flush with the outer end face of the guide wheel. If it doesn't work, we need to adjust the gasket. Finally, make its end face flush.
