FAQs of Magerle Creep Feed Surface Grinder:
Q: How does the Magerle Creep Feed Surface Grinder benefit industrial users?
A: The grinder delivers high-precision surface finishing with 0.002 mm accuracy, essential for demanding industries like aerospace, die, and automotive. Its heavy-duty load capacity, robust construction, and automated systems contribute to increased productivity, reliability, and longevity in industrial settings.
Q: What process does the machine use for creep feed grinding?
A: Creep feed grinding involves a slow, deep cut with a large contact area between the grinding wheel and the workpiece. This process, enabled by the Magerles powerful 7.5 HP direct-coupled motor and 1450 RPM spindle, ensures efficient material removal and finer surface finishes in a single pass.
Q: When should I use manual versus automatic feed options?
A: Manual feed is ideal for tasks requiring operator precision and adjustments, such as custom or initial setups. Automatic feed is preferable for repetitive or high-volume operations, providing consistent feeds and freeing operators to focus on quality control and efficiency.
Q: Where is the Magerle Surface Grinder commonly utilized?
A: This grinder is widely used in mould, die, and tool rooms, as well as in automotive and aerospace manufacturing environments. Its versatility and accuracy make it suitable for high-precision and heavy-duty surface grinding tasks across these industries.
Q: What are the usage steps for optimal grinding performance?
A: Install the workpiece onto the magnetic chuck, select the desired grinding wheel speed (1450 RPM), use the coolant and automatic lubrication systems, and adjust feeds as per the work requirement. Always follow safety protocols and manufacturer guidelines for setup, operation, and shutdown.
Q: What maintenance is required for the lubrication and coolant systems?
A: The automatic lubrication system delivers regular lubrication to critical components, minimizing manual intervention. Regularly check lubricant and coolant levels (fuel tank 60 liters) and follow scheduled maintenance for peak machine performance and extended life span.
Q: How does the design support heavy-duty grinding?
A: The cast iron body, hardened box slide ways, and 3200 kg weight provide high rigidity and vibration resistance, ensuring precision even under demanding loads. The machines large table and magnetic chuck accommodate substantial workpieces for versatile applications.
