Surface grinding machines

77 Machines
Surface grinding machines are specialized machines for machining flat surfaces, ensuring high dimensional accuracy and excellent surface finish. At Makinate, you will find a wide selection of used surface grinding machines, also known as planar grinders, professional machines from leading brands such as Tacchella, Danobat, Favretto, and many other renowned manufacturers.

Features of surface grinding machines

Surface grinding, or...
planar grinding, is a type of machine designed to work on flat surfaces. On a surface grinding machine, the workpiece does not rotate but only moves along the table axis of the machine. As it moves along the table, the workpiece surface comes into contact with the grinding wheel, which performs the actual grinding operation.The operation of surface grinding machines is based on the linear movement of the workpiece relative to the abrasive wheel. This distinguishes surface grinding machines from cylindrical grinders, where the workpiece rotates. The linear movement of the table allows perfectly flat surfaces to be achieved with very tight tolerances and excellent surface quality.

Types of operations with surface grinding machines

There are two different types of operations on surface grinding machines depending on the positioning of the workpiece and the spindle holding the grinding wheel. This versatility allows the machine to be adapted to different production requirements and the geometric characteristics of the workpieces.

Tangential surface grinding

The first and most common type is tangential surface grinding, where the grinding wheel is positioned parallel to the table. In this configuration, the wheel surface works tangentially relative to the workpiece table, ensuring uniform and controlled material removal across the entire surface.

Face surface grinding

The second type is face surface grinding. In this case, the grinding wheel is positioned perpendicular to the table, allowing face grinding of the workpiece. This configuration is particularly suitable for certain geometries and for achieving specific surface characteristics.

Numerical control and automation

Modern surface grinding machines are also equipped with numerical controls (CNC), which allow not only the storage of work programs but also full automation of the entire grinding cycle. Implementing CNC on surface grinding machines provides significant advantages in terms of:
  • Repeatability: ability to perform identical operations with consistent precision
  • Productivity: reduced setup times and optimized work cycles
  • Precision: accurate control of all machining parameters
  • Flexibility: quick adaptation to different types of workpieces and operations

Applications of surface grinding machines

Surface grinding machines are used in many industrial sectors where flatness and surface quality are essential requirements. They are ideal for machining:
  • Plates and guides: components requiring perfectly flat surfaces
  • Molds and dies: where dimensional accuracy is critical
  • Precision mechanical components: for assembling high-performance units
  • Fitting surfaces: requiring controlled flatness and parallelism

Advantages of surface grinding machines

Surface grinding machines offer numerous advantages for machining flat surfaces:
  • High dimensional accuracy: very tight tolerances for flatness and parallelism
  • Excellent surface quality: controlled roughness and finish
  • Operational versatility: ability to machine workpieces of different sizes
  • High productivity: especially in CNC versions
