Universal Grinder

When selecting a Universal Grinder, several critical factors must be evaluated to ensure optimal performance and productivity. Here are the key aspects to consider when choosing the right machine for your requirements:

■ Grinding Capacity
Consider maximum workpiece dimensions and weight handling capability. The M1463 handles large components up to 630mm diameter and 3000kg, while the HT6025Q suits smaller tools up to 260mm. Match these specifications to your typical workpiece requirements.

■ Grinding Applications
Evaluate whether you need universal tool grinding (HT6025Q), cylindrical grinding (M1432), or both capabilities. Consider if you require internal, external, or specialized grinding operations like end mills and drill bits.

■ Precision Requirements
Different models offer varying accuracy levels. The M1432 achieves 0.0025mm positioning accuracy with 0.32μm surface roughness, while other models provide different precision ranges. Match these specifications to your tolerance requirements.

■ Machine Construction
Consider structural integrity based on applications. Cast iron bases, precision spindle systems (5000-10000 RPM), and high-quality bearings ensure stability and accuracy. The M1463’s robust construction suits heavy-duty applications.

■ Control Options
Choose between manual operation (HT6025Q) and more automated systems. Consider operator expertise and production volume requirements when selecting control interfaces.

■ Wheel Specifications
Evaluate grinding wheel sizes and speeds. The M1432 uses 400x52mm wheels at 1316 RPM, while the HT6025Q uses 150x16mm wheels at 5000 RPM. Match these to your material and finishing requirements.

■ Additional Features
Consider supplementary systems like coolant delivery, wheel dressing mechanisms, and workpiece holding options. Evaluate available attachments for specialized grinding operations.

■ Workspace Requirements
Account for machine footprint and weight. The M1463 requires substantial floor space (1270x240cm) and weighs 26000kg, while the HT6025Q is more compact at 730x710mm and 188kg.

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