What is External Cylindrical Grinding?

2023-06-13

External Cylindrical Grinding (External Cylindrical Grinding) is a common grinding method in CNC grinding machines, mainly used for processing high-precision metal parts with outer cylindrical surfaces. Compared with other grinding methods, cylindrical grinding has many advantages, such as high machining accuracy and high machining efficiency, so it has been widely used.

External Cylindrical Grinding

In External Cylindrical Grinding, the knives used are single-edged, round grinding wheels. During processing, the part is clamped on the rotating table and rotates along the axis, and the grinding wheel cuts relative to the part by feeding the axial movement. During the cutting process, the interaction between the grinding wheel and the workpiece will produce phenomena such as heat, force and stress, so the conditions and parameters of the machining process need to be controlled to ensure machining accuracy and surface quality.

Compared with Internal Grinding, external cylindrical grinding has the advantage of processing larger diameter workpieces. In addition, if the length of the outer circle part is long, the center guide method can be used to increase the processing stability; if the diameter is small, the support method can be used for processing. At the same time, cylindrical grinding can also be used to process workpieces of different materials, such as steel, alloy, aluminum alloy and stainless steel.

Cylindrical Grinding

In the digital age, the application scope of External Cylindrical Grinding technology is more and more extensive. With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the continuous innovation of technology, the work efficiency and machining accuracy of cylindrical grinding technology will be further improved. It is foreseeable that CNC cylindrical grinding will occupy a more important position in the fierce market competition.
