A floor grinding equipment is a necessity for most housing
projects. The primary aim of the equipment is to smoothen the floor with
minimal effort and in the shortest possible time. A floor grinding machine uses
an abrasive machining process whereas a spinning wheel, albeit at high speed,
laced with a rough exterior, that is the grinding wheel, cuts of extra chips
off the surface, thereby rendering it smooth.
Floor grinding equipment is the most sought after tool in
housing projects, as mentioned earlier. This is because the flooring of every
house needs that particular look and feel and the smoothness is always an added
attraction. It uses a rotating abrasive wheel or the grinder which rotates at
high speed thereby removing the oxide layer at the top and also the metallic
and non-metallic pieces which would, otherwise, spoil the show and feel of the
floor.
What is a Floor
Grinding Machine?
It is a tool which helps smoothen the floor. The surface
grinder consists of an abrasive wheel, a holding device known as a chuck, and a
rotary table. The material is held in place by the chuck while it is activated.
There are two ways by which this can be done: The magnetic chuck holds the
ferromagnetic wheel, while non-ferromagnetic and non-metallic pieces are held
in place by vacuum or mechanical means. A machine vise (made from ferromagnetic
steel or cast iron) is put on the magnetic chuck and is used to hold
non-ferromagnetic work pieces. That can happen if only a magnetic chuck is
available.
Types of Floor
Grinding Equipment
Horizontal-spindle
(peripheral) surface grinders
The periphery of the wheel touches the work piece,
producing the flat surface. Peripheral grinding is used in precision work on
simple flat surfaces; angled surfaces; slots; flat surfaces next to shoulders;
recessed surfaces; and profiles.
Vertical-spindle
grinders
The face of a wheel is used on the flat surface.
Wheel-face grinding is often used for fast material removal. The work piece is
held on a table, which can be changed according to the task, or a rotary table
machine, with continuous or indexed rotation. Indexing allows loading or
unloading one station while grinding operations are being performed on another.
Disc grinders and
double-disc grinders
Disc grinding is the same as surface grinding, the
difference being a larger contact area between the disc and work piece. Disc
grinders come in two types: Vertical Spindle and Horizontal Spindle. Double
disc grinders work both sides of a work piece simultaneously.
