What Is Plane Surface Grinding?
The grinding surface is one of the precision grinding options, It is used to remove the extra material on the workpiece surfaces and give the flat surface a great finish and accuracy.Elevate with Sundi’s Grinding Excellence: Our advanced grinding technology ensures unmatched accuracy and surface finish, enhancing the stability of your parts. Benefit from competitive pricing and precision engineering
Surface grinding is a widely used machining process that involves the use of a rotating abrasive wheel to remove material from a flat surface, creating a smooth finish. This process is conducted using a surface grinding machine, which consists of a table that moves on a horizontal axis. The workpiece is securely attached to this table, which then moves under the abrasive wheel.
Surface grinding includes the ability to produce a very flat surface with a high degree of surface finish and precision. Additionally, it can work with a wide range of materials, from metals to ceramics and plastics, making it a versatile choice for many industries.

How Can We Operate and Control The Quality?
Operating and controlling quality during surface grinding involves several key procedures and practices to ensure accuracy and consistency in the final products. By meticulously managing these aspects, surface grinding operations can consistently produce high-quality, precise components
- 1
Regular Machine Calibration
Ensure that surface grinding machines are regularly calibrated and maintained. This includes checking and adjusting the alignment, flatness, and condition of the grinding wheel.
- 2
Quality of Grinding Wheels
Use high-quality grinding wheels suitable for the material being processed. The wheel's condition, grain size, and hardness significantly affect the grinding quality.
- 3
Material Inspection
Before grinding, inspect materials for consistency and any defects. This helps prevent issues during the grinding process that could affect the final quality.
- 4
Proper Setup and Fixturing
Ensure that the workpiece is properly fixed and aligned on the grinding table. Inappropriate setup can lead to inaccuracies and surface defects.
- 5
Process Parameters Optimization
Optimize grinding parameters such as feed rate, speed, and depth of cut for each material and part. This optimization helps achieve the desired surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
- 6
Coolant Management
Use the appropriate type and amount of coolant to manage heat generation during grinding. This prevents thermal distortion and helps achieve a better surface finish.
- 7
Continuous Monitoring
Monitor the grinding process continuously. This includes overseeing the wheel wear, surface finish, and overall quality of the workpiece during the operation.
- 8
Frequent Measurements and Inspections
Conduct frequent dimensional and surface quality inspections during and after grinding. Use precision measuring instruments like micrometers, calipers, and surface finish testers.
- 9
Dust and Debris Management
Efficiently manage the dust and debris generated during grinding. This is crucial for maintaining the accuracy of the grinding wheel and the quality of the workpiece.
- 10
Documentation and Traceability
Maintain detailed records of all grinding operations, including machine settings and inspection results, for quality traceability and process improvement.
The Experience of Grinding the Steel with Little Thickness
How do make sure high precision and great parallelism during grinding very thin steel? It’s a common problem for us. Let’s take an example. the part has 30mm long,20m wide and 1mm, the parallelism should reach +/-0.002μm, and the accuracy should be +/-0.003μm .these kinds of parts are used to plug gauges. The following way is the better way from SUND TOOLS :
- 1
We should make sure the raw material has no magnetism
- 2
The fixture is ready. The minimum height of this fixture is 10mm, we should make there’s no magnetism when putting the part in the fixture, and the fixture should be bigger than the grinding part, then we’ll use a block to fix the position of the grinding parts.
- 3
When the critical size is almost up to the target dimension, it is easy to scrap or out of dimension. so we suggest workers mark the grinding surface with a color pen, workers can process the grinding feeding according to the color.
