Face Grinding SPM
Face Grinding SPM
Lavingia Enterprise, manufacturer of cylindrical and internal grinding machines, has developed face grinding SPM for grinding of small and medium size component faces. A typical application would be to grind the gear faces of automotive transmission gears. The machine can be used for grinding the first (reference) surfaces or it can be used for grinding the second (parallel) surfaces. This is a fully automatic machine. It employs VIT-CBN abrasive wheel. Alternatively, conventional grinding wheels can also be used. The grinding cycle is fully automatic and is con- trolled by a micro-controller based system. Feeds are by stepper motor drive. Minimum feed resolution is 1 micron. Auto size control is built-in. Grinding parameters--eg, depth of cut, feed rates, spark-out timings, dressing cut, dressing frequency-are programmable. The system employs LCD display for operator inter- face for setting up the machine, as well as to display the grinding cycle progress. This makes it very easy to program and manage the machine. The machine is offered with various work-holding devices to suite the component. Auto loading/unloading devices to suit work-pieces are also offered.
