FAQ's of Kent KGS-407 400 mm x 700 mm Surface Grinding Machine:
Q: How do I operate the Kent KGS-407 surface grinding machine for best performance?
A: Ensure the magnetic chuck is clean and properly set, secure your workpiece, and adjust table, cross, and vertical feeds using the manual controls. Use the appropriate grinding wheel and set spindle speed at 1450 rpm. Regularly monitor oil and coolant levels, and activate the automatic central lubrication before operation for smooth performance.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this surface grinder in industrial settings?
A: The KGS-407 offers high precision, a rugged cast iron body, and generous table capacity, making it ideal for industrial precision grinding tasks. Its automatic lubrication and easy-to-operate manual controls minimize maintenance and training time, while maximizing reliability and output quality.
Q: When should the hydraulic oil and coolant be checked or replaced?
A: Check the hydraulic oil and coolant levels daily before starting the machine. Replace them according to usage intensity-typically every 6 months for the hydraulic oil, and every 3-6 months for coolant, or sooner if contaminants are observed. Always follow manufacturer recommendations for best results.
Q: Where is the Kent KGS-407 typically used?
A: This machine is commonly used in factories, workshops, and manufacturing plants that require precise surface finishing on metal parts. It is suitable for application in the automotive, machinery, toolmaking, and export sectors, where accuracy and repeatability are essential.
Q: What materials can be processed on the KGS-407?
A: The Kent KGS-407 excels at grinding ferrous and non-ferrous metals, particularly for flat or parallel surfaces. It's suitable for steel, cast iron, and other tough industrial metals typically found in parts manufacturing.
Q: How does the double V and flat table slideway design enhance grinding accuracy?
A: The double V and flat slideways provide superior stability and smooth movement, reducing vibration and ensuring consistent contact between the workpiece and grinding wheel. This results in higher accuracy and a finer surface finish during the grinding process.
Q: What is the process for routine maintenance on this surface grinder?
A: Routine maintenance includes cleaning the working area, checking oil and coolant levels, inspecting the grinding wheel for wear, and ensuring the lubrication system functions properly. Regularly tighten bolts, check the drive belt tension, and keep slideways free of debris to maintain optimal performance.
