A centerless grinding machine is a highly efficient and precise tool used to grind cylindrical workpieces without the need for a central holding fixture, such as a chuck or centers. Instead, the workpiece is supported by a combination of a grinding wheel, a regulating wheel, and a work rest blade. The grinding wheel performs the material removal, while the regulating wheel controls the rotation and feed of the workpiece. This setup allows for continuous, high-speed grinding with excellent dimensional accuracy and surface finish. Centerless grinding is ideal for producing large volumes of parts such as rods, bars, tubes, and pins. It is widely used in industries like automotive, aerospace, medical, and general manufacturing, where tight tolerances and high productivity are essential. The machine is suitable for both through-feed and in-feed grinding processes, making it versatile for various production needs.
