3 Applications
Surface grinding finds use in various applications, including
creating mating surfaces for assembly, producing precise tools,
and achieving specific surface textures.
Principles of Surface
Grinding
Wheel Rotation
The grinding wheel spins at a high speed, creating a
centrifugal force that pushes the abrasive particles
outward.

Workpiece Motion
The workpiece is moved across the grinding wheel,
allowing the abrasive particles to remove material from the
surface.

Material Removal
The abrasive particles, under pressure, cut into the
workpiece surface, removing microscopic chips of metal.

1 Cleaning
The workpiece is cleaned to remove any dirt, debris, or
coatings that could interfere with the grinding process.

2 Clamping
The workpiece is securely clamped to the grinding
machine table, ensuring its stability and precise
positioning during grinding.

3 Alignment
The workpiece is aligned with the grinding wheel, ensuring
that the grinding operation is performed accurately and
consistently.
