FAQs of Athena Horizontal Rotary Surface Grinder:
Q: How does the Athena Horizontal Rotary Surface Grinder achieve high-precision surface finishes?
A: The Athena grinder utilizes an electromagnetic chuck, variable hydraulic table rotation, and a fast-spinning grinding wheel to produce highly accurate surfaces with a finish quality of 0.002 mm. Its robust build and precise manual control facilitate exact adjustments, ensuring consistency in industrial surface grinding tasks.
Q: What materials can be processed with the Athena Surface Grinder?
A: Thanks to its rigid cast iron construction and powerful 3.7 kW main motor, the grinder can handle a wide range of metals and hard materials commonly used in manufacturing and industrial applications. The adjustable speed and hydraulic drive make it versatile for various workpieces.
Q: When is the coolant system activated during operation?
A: The coolant system operates throughout the grinding process, maintaining appropriate temperatures to prevent deformation of workpieces and protect the grinding wheel from excessive wear. It is activated as soon as the grinding wheel engages with the workpiece.
Q: Where is the Athena Horizontal Rotary Surface Grinder typically installed?
A: The grinder is mostly deployed in industrial fabrication units, manufacturing workshops, and production facilities. Given its considerable floor space requirement (1600 mm x 1100 mm) and weight, it is best suited for permanent installation in dedicated grinding areas.
Q: What is the benefit of having centralized lubrication?
A: Centralized lubrication ensures all moving parts and slide ways receive adequate lubrication, reducing friction and wear. This increases the machines operational reliability, minimizes downtime for maintenance, and extends its productive life.
Q: How is the table rotation speed controlled?
A: The table rotation is driven by a hydraulic motor and can be manually varied between 830 rpm based on the requirements of the job, enabling operators to optimize surface grinding for different materials and thicknesses.
Q: What process is used to hold workpieces securely during grinding?
A: The grinder features an electromagnetic chuck with a 350 mm diameter, which securely holds the workpiece in place during grinding. This ensures stability, reduces movement, and enhances the accuracy and quality of surface finishing.
