| Some useful points: |
|
1)
CENTRES
: It is impossible to do precision work on
cylindrical grinder unless the centres are true, __accurate,
clean, lubricated. Otherwise the work will be out of round. |
|---|
|
2)
WHEEL MOUNTING
: A very common fault is to tighten the flangs
more than necessary. Wrinkles or __scurfed
areas on blotters or gaskets cause uneven pressure and make wheel run
out of round. |
|
3)
In external grinding it is better to use generous quantity of coolant
while truing with a diamond __dresser as
there will be less chance of fracturing the diamond, as such heat is generated
while __diamond is in contact with the wheel
. Do not use coolant while dressing an internal grinding wheel. |
|
4)
For precision work it is good practice to re-balance the wheel after truing
because the hole in the __wheel and wheel
mount may cause the hole to run out at periphery. |
|
5)
Generally speaking , the diameter of the internal grinding wheel should
not exceed two third of the __diameter of
hole. It should be remembered that as the size of the wheel increases,
the diameter of __the hole being constant
, the greater the area of contact becomes between wheel and work, thus
__increasing the heat and probably distortion
of the work. |
|
6)
Do not use the wheel which is too tight on the arbor of the internal grinding
spindles or sleeves as it __may break when
started. |
|
7)
Internal grinding belts, with their high speed and small diameter pulley,
must be frequently checked __for oiliness,
wear and tightness, as slippage is a serious fault. |
|
8)
High speed internal grinding spindle's bearing are very sensitive to slight
irregularities. Because of __their special
construction and special races and balls, it is best that repairs be made
only by the __spindle manufacturers. Lubrication
of spindle is of great importance. |
|
9)
Faulty dressing is one of most frequent causes of faulty grindings, short
wheel life and poor finishes. __Because of
the small size of the wheels used in the internal grinding it is essential
that the diamond __should be of proper size
and maintained with sharp point. |
|
10)
Common faulty is to adjust tail stock to the work on all jobs and leave
the head stock at the end of ___the way.
This causes uneven wear and soon forces refinishes of the ways. |
|
11)
When started the machine after it has stopped for number of hours it is
necessary to traverse the ___table few time
to expel the any air that may have entered the hydraulic system. |
