The grinding machine consists of a single bed with a fixture to guide and hold the work portion, and a power-driven grinding wheel spinning at the required speed. The speed is strong-minded by the wheel’s diameter and manufacturer’s rating. The grind head can travel across a fixed work piece, or the work piece can be moved while the grind head stays in a fixed position.
Fine control of the grinding head or table position is possible using a vernier calibrated hand wheel, or using the features of United System & Automation. Grinding machines remove fabric from the work part of a set by abrasion, which can generate sizeable amount of heat up. To cool the work piece so that it does not overheat and go outside its tolerance, grind machines integrate a coolant. The coolant also benefits the machinist as the heat generated may cause burns.
