GRINDING MACHINE TOOLS
Four types of
surface grinding
with horizontal or
vertical spindles,
and with
reciprocating
linear motion or
rotating motion
of the workpiece.
GRINDING MACHINE TOOLS
Classification
Advantages of Honing
• It is characterized by rapid and economical stock removal
with a minimum of heat and distortion.
• It generates round and straight holes by correcting form
errors caused by previous operations.
• It achieves high surface quality and accuracy.

Applications
Machine lapping between plates, as described earlier, is an
economical and productive (100 parts/h) method of lapping
cylindrical surfaces. The machine can be used for lapping
parts such as plug gages, piston pins, hypodermic plungers,
ceramic pins, small valve pistons, cylindrical valves, small
engine pistons, roller and needle bearings, diesel injector
valves, plungers, and miscellaneous cylindrical pins.

Limitations
A part with diameter greater than its length is difficult or
impossible to machine lap between plates. Parts with
shoulders require special fixtures. Parts with keyways, flats,
or interrupted surface are difficult to lap because the
variations in lapping pressure that occur are likely to fall out
of round. If the relief extends over the entire length of the
part, this method of lapping cannot be used at all.

ii. A two-spindle machine
One spindle holds and rotates the WP, while the other holds the
lap in a floating position and oscillates it through an angle large
enough to lap the required area of the surface.

2. Equalizing Lapping
In this process, two WP surfaces are separated by a layer of
abrasives mixed with a vehicle and rubbed against each other.
Each piece drives the abrasive, so that the particles act on the
opposing surface. Irregularities that prevent the two surfaces
from fitting together precisely are thus lapped, and the
surfaces are mated (equalized).
