WHAT IS A SURFACE GRINDER AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

A surface grinding machine is a machine tool used to carry out grinding operations using a rotating abrasive wheel to obtain flat, cylindrical or other precise shapes by eliminating irregularities on a part. Grinding is often used to improve the surface finish of parts manufactured in various sectors of industry. There are several types of grinding machines depending on the application, such as the surface grinding machine, the cylindrical grinding machine, the universal grinding machine, etc.

Why And How Should We Safeguard a Surface Grinder?

Grinding machine operation involves several potential hazards for operators and the work environment. Here are some of the common dangers associated with using a grinder:

  • Risk of injury from contact with rotating parts: Grinding machines contain rapidly rotating parts, such as the grinding wheel or the part to be ground. Contact with these moving parts can result in serious injury, such as cuts, crushing or amputation.
  • Projection of particles and chips: During the grinding operation, abrasive particles and material chips can be thrown at high speed out of the grinding area. These projections can cause injuries to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract of operators.

To safeguard a grinding machine, guards and protective shields must be used to protect the operator from flying abrasive particles, sparks, splinters, debris and the moving abrasive wheel. The 3 most important parts of a grinding machine to secure are: the grinding area, the abrasive wheel and the operating controls.
