Compared with the traditional surface grinder, the horizontal double face grinder has the following characteristics:

1. High efficiency

The traditional surface grinder can only process one surface at a time. After finishing one surface, the workpiece needs to be turned over manually, and then another surface is processed, so the processing efficiency is low. Due to the rigidity of the spindle, the grinding depth of the surface grinder is generally small (generally within 0.05mm when grinding steel parts). Double face grinding can finish the processing of two parallel faces at one time, reducing one process and eliminating the auxiliary time between processes. In addition, because the workpiece allowance is gradually removed in the grinding process, the larger machining allowance of double face grinding is far greater than that of ordinary surface grinder, and the machining allowance can be removed by several steps of surface grinder at a time.

2. High machining accuracy

In the process of double face grinding, the workpiece is not affected by electromagnetic force, and the deformation caused by the release of clamping stress is eliminated. Therefore, the deformation of the workpiece after processing is small, which ensures the processing accuracy of the workpiece.

3. Wide range of application

The workpiece is limited by the feeding plate in the horizontal direction and the upper and lower grinding wheels in the vertical direction. This positioning method is not limited by the workpiece material, so it widens the application scope of the machine tool. It is not only used in the processing of steel and iron parts such as bearing rings and piston rings, but also widely used in the processing of non-metallic and non-magnetic materials such as mobile phone screens.

4. High degree of automation

Horizontal double face grinder is often used in the stable production of large quantities of workpieces. It generally has the function of automatic compensation. It can be equipped with automatic loading and unloading device without manual loading and unloading of workpieces. The horizontal double face grinder is mostly controlled by numerical control system, which greatly reduces the labor intensity, reduces the influence of manual operation, makes the processing quality stable and the workpiece consistency good.
