csiszológép

A csiszológép, or grinding machine, is a type of machine tool used for grinding, which is a finishing process. It employs an abrasive wheel as its cutting tool. Grinding machines are used to finish metal and other materials, surfaces that have been previously machined or formed with rougher processes. They are particularly useful for achieving very fine finishes and precise dimensions.

There are numerous types of grinding machines, each designed for specific applications. Surface grinders are used to produce a flat or contoured surface on a workpiece. Cylindrical grinders are employed for grinding the external or internal surface of rotating objects, such as shafts or bores. Centerless grinders are used for grinding cylindrical parts without the need to mount them between centers. Tool and cutter grinders are designed to sharpen and shape cutting tools.

The abrasive wheel on a grinding machine is typically made of abrasive grains bonded together. The type of abrasive material, its grit size, and the bonding agent are selected based on the material being ground and the desired finish. Grinding can remove small amounts of material at a time, making it suitable for creating very smooth surfaces and achieving tight tolerances. Grinding machines are essential in many manufacturing industries, including automotive, aerospace, and toolmaking, where high precision and surface quality are critical.
