Flat bevel grinding machines

Plane-side transverse or front-side deep grinding process

Surface grinding is a widely used grinding process for the machining of workpieces. It is mainly used for processing flat and plane workpieces. Surface grinding can be achieved both in deep grinding and pendulum grinding.

The flat bevel grinding machines – also known as front side grinding machines – process workpieces in plane-side transverse or front-side deep grinding. With a cutting speed of up to 50 m/s, a multi-sided smooth grinding of workpieces is achieved.

The workpiece is machined with the side faces of a cup grinding wheel. Depending on the diameter of the cup grinding wheel, workpieces with a grinding length of up to 1 200 mm can be processed. If the workpiece is processed in a deep grinding process, a large amount of material can be removed and a good surface quality can be achieved.

When grinding with the plane side grinding method, the material removal results in a bevel on the wall. Depending on the task and the workpiece, different geometries can be processed.
