AUTOMATION OF IN FEED CENTERLESS GRINDING MACHINE

Description

In-feed centerless grinding technique offers a major contribution to the industries. This is the alternative in-feed centerless grinding technique using regulating wheel. Mainly centerless grinding is divided in three types, and those are End feed, in-feed and through feed Centerless grinding. This paper mainly deals with low cost automation on in-feed Centerless grinding machine using regulating wheel suitable for multiple in-feed type jobs. It deals with the development of a Centerless grinding automation technique for the job having multiple diameter, steps or projections on the job.  In this new method of automation hydraulic cylinders, sensors besides a control panel, pressure gauge, and a hydraulic power pack added. Relay control is used for the electrical control. The objective of this work is to reduce the cycle time, consistency in the quality of job and to reduce the production cost. In this focus is concentrated on compact centerless grinding unit. The higher machining accuracy is obtained.  Results showed improvement in the surface roughness and productivity of the job.
