About Grinders and Grinding Machines

Grinders and grinding machines use an abrasive that is bonded to a wheel, belt or disc to remove material and improve surface finish. Devices can be pneumatically driven or powered by a combustion engine or electric motor. Grinders and grinding machines can use single-phase or three-phase power and are available in a range of voltages. 60 Hz power is used in North America. 50 Hz power is used internationally. Some devices require manual loading, setup, and operation. Others load parts automatically, include computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools and a programmable logic controller (PLC), or can be programmed or controlled through a personal computer (PC) interface. Bench mounted, floor mounted, stationary, handheld, and portable grinders and grinding machines are commonly available. Devices can also be mounted on tool posts, machines, or robotic arms.


Products & Services Related to Grinders and Grinding Machines

Honing, Lapping and Super-finishing Machines
Honing, lapping and super-finishing equipment are used to improve surface finish or geometry to tight tolerances.
Polishing and Buffing Machines
Polishers and buffing machines are used to impart a fine (low Ra) surface finish on the exterior of a part. To improve surface finish, they use use abrasive grain slurries or compounds on buffs, bobs, cloth naps, laps, very fine grit nonwovens, and coated abrasives.
Sanders and Sanding Machines
Sanders and sanding machines are used to finish wood, plastic or composites through the application of abrasive belts, discs or sheets.
