During surface grinding, the workpiece can be installed on the rectangular worktable with reciprocating linear motion or on the circular worktable with circular motion. When the grinding wheel peripheral grinding mode is adopted, the spindle of the grinder is arranged horizontally; When the grinding wheel end face grinding mode is adopted, the spindle of the grinder is arranged vertically. Let's take a look at the combination of ordinary surface grinder according to spindle layout and workbench shape.

1、 Horizontal axis rectangular table surface grinder: in this machine tool, the workpiece is absorbed by the rectangular electromagnetic worktable. The grinding wheel makes the main rotary motion, the worktable makes the longitudinal reciprocating motion, and the grinding wheel frame makes the intermittent vertical cutting motion and transverse feed motion.

2、 Vertical shaft round table surface grinder: on this machine tool, the grinding wheel rotates as the main motion, the circular worktable rotates as the circular feed motion, and the grinding wheel frame makes the intermittent vertical cutting motion.

3、 Vertical axis rectangular table surface grinder: on this machine tool, the grinding wheel makes the main rotary motion, the rectangular worktable makes the longitudinal reciprocating motion, and the grinding wheel frame makes the intermittent vertical cutting motion.

4、 Horizontal axis round table surface grinder: on this machine tool, the grinding wheel rotates as the main motion, the circular worktable rotates as the circular feed motion, and the grinding wheel frame makes continuous radial feed motion and intermittent vertical cut motion. In addition, the rotation center line of the table can be adjusted to the inclined position for grinding the conical surface.

The surface grinder mainly uses the grinding wheel to rotate and grind the workpiece so that it can achieve the required flatness.
