Why centre grinding?

because a high roundness error in the centre means that the position of the workpiece on the dead centre is not defined during machining. This is reflected in at least four effects:

  • The workpiece spins on the centre within its roundness error. The roundness error is thus reflected on the outside diameter / runout.
  • The ratio between permissible tolerance and diffusion increases. Hence the process capability and reproducibility decreases.
  • For the next quality assurance, measurement is made at a different position in the centre between centres, the position is most likely not the same as in the cylindrical grinding process.
  • Thin-walled parts can be deformed if the contact pressure of the centres in the centre is high. In this case, the roundness error of the centre is reproduced on the outside. If cylindrical grinding is then performed, the part is only round initially. If the centres are then moved out of the workpiece, the part relaxes and the non-circular-roundness reappears in the centre.
