Flange facing is a device that is economical to produce a smooth surface and can achieve high accuracy. Grinding machine is one kind of machine tools with multiple cutting eye where the eye pieces, a very large number that is used to hone / cut work piece with a specific purpose. The working principle is the grinding machine grinding wheel rotating in contact with the work piece, causing erosion, sharpening, grinding, or cutting.
Main Function Flange facing Machine
- Cut thickness of work pieces that are not relatively thick.
- Smooth and flatten the surface of the work piece.
- As the process so the final (finishing) on the work piece.
- Sharpen cutting tool so sharp.
- Eliminate sharp edge on the work piece.
- Establish a profile on the work piece (either elliptical, elbows, etc.)
- Advantages and Disadvantages Grinding Machine
- Advantages
- It can work to cut hard work pieces.
- It can produce a very smooth surface up to N6.
- Able to work on the work piece with the demands of a very precise size.
- Disadvantages
- Ingestion Scale (depth of cut) must be small.
- The time required to work long enough.
- Cost required to work is quite expensive.
This machine is only used for precision work, e.g. sharpening (honing) of various types of cutting tools such as lathe chisel eyes, drill bits, and others. It is also used smoothing (finishing) cylindrical shape, taper, internal, and the surface of the work piece that requires precision. This grinding machine is divided into two, namely:
The machine is used for cutting tools such as milling blade, reamer and others. Engine equipment for grinding can shifted according to the shape of the work piece to be honed. Grinding stone grinding when moved by hand through the handle back and forth. Objects rotated by hand via the gear brace.
Grinding machine for grinding cutting tools such as lathe and cutting chisel sharpening drill bits. The principle works work piece pushed toward the rotating grinding wheel. The engine did not have a table, replaced with other equipment that can be shifted in rank according to the corners of the work piece are sharpened.
