Cylindrical Grinder

When selecting a cylindrical grinder, several critical factors must be evaluated to ensure optimal performance for your specific grinding applications. Here are the key aspects to consider when choosing the right machine:

■ Grinding Capacity and Workpiece Specifications
Evaluate maximum workpiece dimensions and weight capacity. The M1432 handles workpieces up to 320mm diameter with 200kg weight capacity, while the M13 series accommodates larger parts up to 500mm diameter. Consider both current and future grinding requirements when selecting capacity ranges.

■ Grinding Methods and Capabilities
Determine whether you need internal, external, or universal grinding capabilities. The M1432 offers both internal (30-100mm) and external (8-320mm) grinding, while the HT1200 specializes in step difference grinding for precision components. Match capabilities to your manufacturing requirements.

■ Machine Precision and Accuracy
Consider the precision levels required. The M1432 delivers roundness accuracy of 0.0025mm and surface roughness of 0.32μm, while the HT1200 achieves positioning accuracy of 0.005mm. Match these specifications to your tolerance requirements.

■ Grinding Wheel Configuration
Evaluate wheel specifications and power requirements. The M13 series uses 600x50mm wheels with 4000 RPM spindle speed, while the HT1200 features dual grinding wheels for simultaneous coarse and fine grinding. Consider your material types and surface finish requirements.

■ Control Systems and Automation
Assess automation needs and control preferences. The HT1200 offers 5-axis CNC control with automatic loading systems, while the M1432 provides manual and semi-automatic options. Choose based on production volume and operator expertise.

■ Machine Construction and Stability
Consider structural design for long-term stability. Cast iron construction, natural aging processes, and precision guide systems provide consistent accuracy. The M1432’s 9000kg weight ensures rigidity for precise grinding operations.

■ Work Support Systems
Evaluate workhead and tailstock specifications. The M1432 features +90° workhead swiveling and MT4 tapers for versatile workpiece mounting. Match these features to your typical workpiece configurations.

■ Additional Features
Consider supplementary systems such as:

• Coolant delivery systems
• Automatic lubrication
• Wheel dressing equipment
• In-process gauging options
• Dust collection systems

■ Maintenance and Service Requirements
Evaluate warranty coverage and service support. Haitong offers varying warranty periods (1-3 years) and comprehensive technical support including video assistance for different models.

These considerations should guide your selection process, but remember that each grinding application has unique requirements. Consult with Haitong’s technical team to determine the optimal grinder configuration for your specific manufacturing needs.
