INVT Solution for Surface Grinder Machine in India

Abstract: Your grinding machine involves a process of material removal in the form of minute chips by the cutting action of numerous abrasive particles bonded together in the form of a grinding wheel. The cutting action takes place when you feed the work-piece against a revolving grinding wheel.

A Surface Grinding Machine is a versatile and essential tool used in the manufacturing and metalworking industries to achieve precise and smooth surfaces on workpieces. It is capable of removing material from the surface of a workpiece to create a flat, smooth, and accurately finished product. The machine uses an abrasive wheel or grinding wheel to perform the grinding process. Surface grinding machines are widely used in various applications, from producing high-precision parts for machinery to finishing surfaces of different materials like metals, ceramics, and plastics.

1. Introduction

* MACHINE PROCEDURE:-
In this machine there are process involved–

1 Grinder unit – It is basically a unit which used to run grinder by the help of motor which runs continuously on single speed.
2. Job left & right unit – In this unit basic work is to move job unit in left & right movement where grinder fixed in one place and by the help of servo movement in left & right job grinds done.

3. Job forward & reverse unit – In this unit basic work is to move job unit in forward & reverse movement where grinder fixed in one place and by the help of VFD movement in forward & reverse job grinds done. In every cycle job comes forward in specific length and after completing grinding process completed in auto mode.

4. All the functions given in autocycle and manual mode.

Surface Grinding is a manufacturing process which moves or grinding wheel relative a surface in a plane while a grinding wheel contacts the surface and removes a minute amount of material, such that a flat surface is created. The term surface grinding designates any process which accurately processes or grinds a surface.

Surface grinding methods include: horizontal-spindle, vertical-spindle, vertical spindle rotary grinding, horizontal spindle single disk, and vertical swivel head grinding.

Site information: Surface grinder machine manufacturing company.

2.2 Customer Demand

Main concern of customer is of accuracy, cost effective, ease to operate solution & speed.

We have given solution with accuracy ease to operate & cost effective with INVT PLC, VFD & SERVO DRIVE.

As customer need to run same cycle process with different speed so we remove HMI for making it cost efficient and fix all data in PLC so that it will more easier and cost effective.

DA200 servo drive doing operation without jerk in forward & reverse motion because of that job is grinding safe from corners. Because customer need less area of movement so that production rises.
