Grinding
Grinding is a machining process that uses an abrasive wheel to remove material from the surface of a workpiece, resulting in a smooth and precise finish. This process is essential for achieving fine tolerances and high surface quality in metalworking.
Key Aspects of Grinding Operation
Abrasive Wheel:
The primary tool in grinding is an abrasive wheel, composed of abrasive particles bonded together. The wheel rotates at high speed and is used to cut, shape, or finish metal surfaces.
Workpiece and Machine Setup:
The workpiece is securely clamped or held in a fixture, and the grinding machine moves the abrasive wheel against the workpiece to remove material. Grinding machines can be manual or CNC-controlled for high precision.
