Computer numerically controlled (CNC) systems automate the precision shaping of cylindrical workpieces. A rotating workpiece is fed against a rotating grinding wheel, removing material to achieve a highly accurate diameter, surface finish, and form. This automated process finds applications in producing components like shafts, pins, and rollers, often requiring tight tolerances.
Automated cylindrical grinding offers significant advantages over manual methods. It ensures consistent results, high repeatability, and improved efficiency, crucial for high-volume production. The precise control offered by computerized systems allows for complex geometries and intricate details, exceeding the limitations of manual operation. This technology has revolutionized precision manufacturing, enabling the creation of critical components across various industries, from automotive and aerospace to medical devices.
