External Cylindrical Grinding
External cylindrical grinding require high precision and surface roughness, which are important to ensure accurate part dimensions and surface quality in machining. The outer circumference of the pin, shaft and other workpieces with circular sections is mainly ground by the outer edge of the grinding wheel. According to the function of the grinder, it can be roughly divided into:
(1)TraverseCut: The grinding wheel moves laterally along the workpiece axis
(2)PlungeCut: The grinding wheel feeds radially into the workpiece surface
(3)Angular Cut: Used for simultaneous grinding of the outer diameter and face
(4)Form Grinding: Used for processing complex profiles or specific geometric shapes
