Specifically Engineered For The Job
Centerless
grinding is the called-for solution in many applications because it
totally eliminates the need for supporting the work between centers or
holding it in some other type of fixture. The two most common forms of
centerless grinding are throughfeed and infeed (plunge). The centerless
grinding process is used to create round parts by rotating a work wheel
in conjunction with a regulating wheel. The work wheel performs the
actual grinding, operating in tandem with the regulating wheel which
acts as both a frictional driving and braking component.
Centerless grinding is a high-precision operation and is generally
utilized for high-production grinding because of its superior size,
shape and finish control. But, this high-precision process is only as
exacting as the wheel that does the work. Radiac centerless grinding
wheels are a specifically engineered combination of grain, bond and
structure, providing excellent versatility and freedom of cut.
Radiac centerless grinding wheels also mean ...
- Freedom from burning
- Versatility on a wide range of materials
- Superior finish
- High stock removal capability
- Superior balance

- Extended dress intervals
- Superior part geometry
- Consistent grade across face of wheel
- Reduced cost
