Cylindrical grinding is a precision machining process used to shape the outer surface of components to exact dimensions. Though widely used in automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries, even the most advanced cylindrical grinding troubleshooting operations can encounter challenges. Identifying and addressing these issues promptly is key to ensuring optimal surface finish and dimensional accuracy. At Hindustan Abrasives, we not only supply premium grinding solutions but also help our customers resolve common cylindrical grinding problems with expert insights.
Common Cylindrical Grinding Issues
Poor Surface Finish
Causes: Wheel loading, dull grains, or incorrect wheel selection.
Solution: Dress the wheel properly, use a suitable bond, and opt for a wheel with sharper cutting action.
Tapered Workpiece
Causes: Wheel head misalignment or incorrect setup.
Solution: Realign the wheel head and ensure steady support throughout the workpiece length.
Chatter Marks or Vibration
Causes: Loose fixtures, imbalance in grinding wheel, or poor machine foundation.
Solution: Balance the wheel correctly, tighten all components, and isolate machine vibrations.
Burn Marks or Thermal Damage
Causes: Excessive feed rate, dull abrasive grains, or insufficient coolant.
Solution: Reduce feed rate, dress the wheel more frequently, and improve coolant delivery.
Size Variation
Causes: Inconsistent grinding pressure, unstable machine setup.
Solution: Use uniform grinding parameters and ensure rigid machine setup.
