Grinder Works on Two Surfaces Simultaneously
IMTS22: Double disc grinders from Supertec Machinery possess a multitude of benefits that have applications across a variety of different industries, including automotive, aerospace, marine, and many more.
As a grinder supplier to a broad range of manufacturing industries, Supertec Machinery offers a wide range of grinding machines. Included in their lineup are double disc grinders — and for good reason. When the need for grinding two opposing sides is required, double disc grinding can be an effective grinding solution.
According to the company, grinding two sides simultaneously possesses many advantages over a standard surface grinder, including improved cycle times from multi-batch grinding. Cycle times improve with a greater number of parts being ground on the table, and multi-batch grinding is made possible through double disc grinders. Another benefit to double disc grinding is faster stock removal when grinding two sides simultaneously. The company also says that double disc grinding promotes maximum parallelism, better part finishes, improved flatness and easy automation.
