Grinding or sharpening in precision mechanics refers to the action by which an operator uses a machine tool, more precisely a CNC or conventional grinding machine, to remove a small amount of material from a mechanical part or cutting tool. This process allows for the dimensional adjustment of the geometric tolerances of a part, whether flat or cylindrical, while improving its surface finish.
However, care must be taken not to confuse the grinding process with traditional machining, which is characterized by the material removal.
Metal grinding and sharpening machines are equipped with grinding wheels. It is the friction between the grinding wheel and the workpiece that allows abrasive machining (otherwise known as grinding). In many cases, a high dimensional accuracy can be achieved. These second hand high-precision machines therefore allow for high-tolerance adjustments to be made while maintaining increased repeatability. The grinding process is now the most efficient way to achieve accuracy in the order of a few micrometers (microns), while respecting the profiles and angles of cuts.
This type of machine tool is generally used to prepare surfaces that will be exposed to some friction.
If the grinding wheel is previously diamond-coated, i.e., it has been machined into a particular shape, it will give a particular profile to the mechanical part.
A CNC or conventional sharpening machine (universal tool grinder or tool sharpener) allows to sharpen blades and cutting tools made of carbide or polycrystalline. These cutting tools are mainly used in industrial mechanics companies during the production of parts thanks to their machine parks. The numerically controlled sharpening machine (CN or CNC) allows the sharpening of parts such as drills, carbide inserts, milling cutters, saw blades, spindles, ...
Industrial grinding machines are used for all other types of mechanical parts, whether they are flat or cylindrical. They allow to approach a surface of a perfect shape.
Used second hand grinding machines for metal working and precision machining are used in various sectors :
The advantage of machining by abrasion or grinding allows the machining of parts and cutting tools in very hard materials such as
