Grinding Machine Developments

High accuracy of machine movements is required so that the machine can be accurately positioned or programmed to allow accurate control of size, shape, and generated profiles. Precision grinding machines, as with all production machines, are subject to wear. This means there must be a program of planned maintenance or checking for sustained quality and output. Some machine designs are less prone to the effects of wear than others are, and this can be an important consideration in machine selection. In-process gauging can overcome the effects of wear to some extent but some types of wear are more serious than others. The ability of a machine to withstand vibrations depends not only on the machine stiffness but also on the machine damping. Damping is a term used to describe the mechanism of energy dissipation within a machine.
