Centerless grinding involves the workpiece being simultaneously machined and guided on its generated surface. The line contact on a grinding wheel forms the
grinding line, the workpiece lies flush with the regulating wheel and is held in place from below by a guide rail.
During grinding, the center of the workpiece lowers as its diameter is reduced through abrasion. This causes the workpiece to migrate towards the regulating wheel. JUNKER’s electronic control system compensates for this position change by tracking the grinding wheel so that precise machining is guaranteed at all times.
Centerless cylindrical grinding is also the ideal solution for workpieces that are difficult to hold due to their shape or small dimensions.
