FAQ's of Jones & Shipman 1400 Precision Surface Grinder:
Q: How does the Jones & Shipman 1400 achieve such a high surface finish accuracy?
A: The grinder utilizes super precision angular contact bearings, a meticulously hand-scraped V and flat table slide way, and a manual diamond dresser for optimal wheel conditioning. These design choices enable surface finish accuracies up to 2 microns, ensuring top-quality results for high-precision applications.
Q: What are the benefits of the centralized semi-automatic lubrication system?
A: The centralized semi-automatic lubrication system ensures that all essential moving components receive consistent lubrication, reducing wear, decreasing maintenance frequency, and extending the overall lifespan of the machine.
Q: How can I adapt the machine for different workpiece requirements?
A: The Jones & Shipman 1400 offers variable manual feed speeds and precise adjustments with minimum vertical feed graduations of 0.0005 inch. Coupled with a versatile 27 x 8-inch table and a maximum capacity of 500 kg, the grinder easily adapts to varying workpiece sizes and grinding requirements.
Q: When is it recommended to use the optional hydraulic and coolant systems?
A: The optional hydraulic system is most beneficial for prolonged grinding sessions or when smoother, automated table movement is required. The integral coolant system, with optional pump, is recommended for operations generating significant heat, helping to maintain surface integrity and extend wheel life.
Q: Where is the Jones & Shipman 1400 surface grinder manufactured and supplied?
A: The Jones & Shipman 1400 is manufactured and supplied in the United Kingdom and is available globally through a network of exporters, importers, manufacturers, suppliers, and traders.
Q: What is the typical process for operating this manual surface grinder?
A: Operation involves securely mounting the workpiece on the magnetic chuck, setting the appropriate grinding wheel speed (up to 2850 RPM), manually adjusting table traverse and vertical feeds, and using the diamond dresser to condition the wheel as needed. Centralized lubrication and optional systems further streamline the process.
Q: What advantages does the rigid cast iron construction provide?
A: The rigid cast iron and steel construction minimizes vibration and deformation, resulting in greater stability, consistent precision, and improved surface quality during grinding operations.
