The difference between general cylindrical grinders and CNC cylindrical grinders

General cylindrical grinders and CNC cylindrical grinders are two different types of grinding equipment, with significant differences in functionality, control methods, and applicability.

1. Control method: Generally, manual operation is used for cylindrical grinders, and the operator needs to adjust various parameters of the machine tool based on experience, such as feed rate, grinding wheel speed, etc. The CNC cylindrical grinder adopts a computer numerical control system, which controls the grinding process through a pre programmed program to achieve automated operation.

2. Accuracy and stability: CNC cylindrical grinders have higher machining accuracy and stability. Due to the precise control of the CNC system, parameters such as feed rate and wheel orientation can be more accurately controlled, thereby achieving higher grinding accuracy. However, general cylindrical grinders are affected by the operator's experience and skills, resulting in relatively low accuracy.

3. programmability and flexibility: CNC cylindrical grinding machines have good programmability and flexibility. After programming, active grinding of workpieces of different shapes and scales can be completed, greatly improving production efficiency. However, the operation of a general cylindrical grinder is relatively simple and more suitable for grinding simple shapes.

4. Degree of automation: CNC cylindrical grinding machines have a high degree of automation, can complete continuous active grinding, and can be integrated with other equipment to form an automated production line. However, general cylindrical grinders require operators to constantly operate and adjust, making it impossible to achieve continuous automated production.

Overall, CNC cylindrical grinders have higher precision, stability, and automation compared to general cylindrical grinders, making them suitable for high-precision requirements in cylindrical grinding. And general cylindrical grinding machines are suitable for rough shapes and low requirement cylindrical grinding processes.
