Cylindrical Grinding
Cylindrical grinding is a method that uses a grinding wheel to machine the outer round and stepped surfaces of a workpiece. It is used when it is necessary to ensure the parallelism, cylindrical properties, and roundness of parts such as shafts and pins. This method is commonly applied in the machining of round objects.
The workpiece is fixed at the center points of both ends, rotated by a chuck, and machined. This method can achieve cylindrical shapes and roundness with tolerances of only a few microns by controlling the center and center hole of the workpiece. In addition to steel, cylindrical grinding can also be used to machine materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, hard alloys, and ceramics by changing the type of grinding wheel accordingly.
