What is CNC cylindrical grinding machine?

CNC cylindrical grinders are also called CNC grinders or CNC cylindrical grinding machines. They are essentially the grinding machines that are controlled by the CNC system. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control which refers to an automated unit that controls the machining tools by a computer. A cylindrical grinder has its name from the grinding spindle that has a cylindrical figure; a machine as such performs grinding works by the rotary movement of the grinding tool which is driven by the spindle.

The grinding work that is conducted by a CNC cylindrical grinder goes this way: the operation is pre-programmed on a computer and the CNC system gives a series of instructions to the grinder to carry out the very operation. The programming process is referred to as CAD which stands for Computer-Aided Design. The most popular CAD software to date is AutoCAD. Since the movement of the grinding tools as well as the work pieces is precisely controlled and executed, the end result of the operation can be optimized.

CNC Machining Center​

The two fundamental elements of a CNC grinder is the CNC system that instructs and controls and the grinding machine that executes. A grinding machine is the machining equipment that uses a rotating grinding wheel to remove material from a given object so that the object can be shaped into a desired configuration. As technology advances over time, the grinding machines in general have evolved and turned into a more comprehensive machining center.

A conventional cylindrical grinding machine is only able to perform limited types of grinding operations. However, a CNC machining center is capable of performing a wide variety of machining operations by means of changing the machining tools mounted on the spindle head. The CNC machining center is also known as the CNC turning center. Almost any machining process that involves the rotation of the spindle head can be conducted by a turning center and the automation of the machine enabled by CNC system further lifts its capability.


Efficient Tool Change

The automation of machinery is one of the key advantages of a CNC cylindrical grinder as well as the CNC turning centers so to speak. The automation of machinery is not only realized in the machining process, but also the change of machining tools. During a conventional machining process, the drill bits or machining tools are changed manually by machinists which is rather time consuming. Yet, CNC automation allows the machine to change the tools automatically and rapidly. On top of machinery automation, the invention of power turrets further improves the process to another level.

A turret head is a platform which allows multiple machining tools to be mounted. Driven by the main spindle head, the tool change process conducted by a power turret becomes simpler. Since the tools are all mounted onto the turret, the unloading and reloading of tools are no longer necessary. The spindle only has to position the tool to the machining site by rotating the turret and the machine is ready to proceed on the next round of machining. A CNC cylindrical grinder can incorporate with a power turret to better the overall performance and productivity of the machine.

What you need to know about laser focus lenses?

  How it all works The focusing lens in a Co2 laser cutter/engraver converges the laser beam to form the focal point of the laser cutting or engraving material. This point is located at the sharpest point of convergence of the beam and is often referred to as the "spot size". Several factors can affect this spot size, which will ultimately determine the outcome of your project. The purpose of this article is to explain these differences and give you a better understanding of which lens is best for you.   What are the different options? The most common lens options are 1.5, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 inches. These measurements are the focal lengths needed for each lens to focus perfectly. For example, a 1.5-inch lens needs to be exactly 1.5 inches above the surface of the material to focus correctly. The main factors that distinguish each lens are spot size and depth of focus. The smaller the lens, the smaller the focal length and spot size.   What is the difference between them and whi
