Double Side Fine Grinding Machines
Insight's iGrind LG Series
- Precision Personified
[Also known as Lap Grinding, Dual Face Fine Grinding, Double Disc Fine Grinding]
Fine Grinding, in this context the Double Side Fine Grinding - is the process that imparts high precision form (flatness & parallelism), tight size control (thickness) and superior surface finish.
Material removal is through the mechanism of 'abrasive sub-micro-grooving cum shear-abrasion', by the method of epicyclic-planetary feed - hence normalizing the surface to accomplish superior form, size & topography; Surface topography is naturally an epicyclic cross-hatch, something that is desired for the kind of super-precision flat parts where's relative motion or need of face sealing - like the case of a valve plate.
And then, the use of super abrasive diamond / CBN wheels heralds long tool life and low CPC.
Moreover, the process is so clean relative to lapping, that the coolant is recycled & reused for extended periods, plus the finished parts are coated with a thin layer of coolant which makes post process cleaning extremely minimal or not at all.
iGrind LG Series, Insight's Dual Face Fine Grinding Machines, having been engineered to do exactly that - 'precisely & consistently', are a cross-over between Lapping & Grinding, offering the best of both the worlds-
- Accuracy of Lapping kinematics
- Speed & aggressive cutting of Grinding
[relative to lapping, Fine Grinding is 5 to 25 times faster, case-basis]
These machines, the iGrinds - though built for highly consistent super-finishing, can do roughing as well (removing say upto 0.6mm stock). Quite just like that(!) - thanks to the robust structural schema, thermo-symmetric design & force-vector-flow based element engineering.
With ingeniously & holistically designed 'Intelligent Controls' Architecture' with an empathic view of the end-use, running these machines in the shopfloor - is a breeze, quite literally!
Icing on the cake is - the cluster of smart algorithms developed by our Controls Engineers, which pretty much transform the machine into self-learning autonomy.
And then, state of the art build quality brought to life by our machine-tool manufacturing experts, carries these machines into a class of its own.
