One of these is hard turning, as a cost efficient alternative to grinding. The technology is analyzed in the case of a bearing component, as a new process step versus the existing grinding process. Experimental tests were performed in order to describe the advantages of this technology. Cubic Boron Nitride grades (CBN) are used for cutting.
Read OnHard turning, on the other hand, has geometric limitations, which is the case for long and thin components. While hard turning is an option for finishing parts, it's not the preferred one. Precision grinding processes can achieve a 6 Ra surface finish, hold a size tolerance of less than 0.0002 inches, and grind parts to within 30 millionths ...
Read OnHARD TURNING/GRINDING. The process integration of hard turning and grinding technologies in a single working area includes both shaft-type workpieces and chuck parts such as sun shafts, shaft bevel gears, gearwheels, sliding sleeves etc. Complete machining in a single clamping achieves the highest precision and surface quality. In addition, set ...
Read OnHard turning, grinding, and honing are common finishing processes in today's production. The machined subsurface undergoes severe deformation and possible microstructure changes in a …
Read OnGrinding is a more universally known process. Most workpieces can be ground, independent of their shape. Hard turning, on the other hand, has geometric limitations, as is the case with long and thin components. Wide surfaces can be finished effectively, often with a single plunge grind operation. In addition, with grinding a turn-free surface ...
Read OnThe hard turning and grinding technology has proven its worth in the field. In the machining of chucked components (VSC DS Hard Turning and Grinding Machine) the combination of hard turning and grinding is state-of-the-art. There is, however, a considerable rationalisation potential still to be tapped, as by no means all the processes where it ...
Read OnHard Turning Versus Grinding. Lori Beckman. Senior Editor, Production Machining. Hard turning is often considered a replacement for grinding operations or as a pre-grinding process. It is most often performed on post-heat treated parts with surface hardness ranging from 45 HRC to 68 HRC or higher. Grinding, however, achieves higher tolerances ...
Read OnULTRA PRECISION HARD TURNING AND GRINDING MACHINE Main characteristic of hard turning Turning up to 70 HRC Surface finish : 0.1 - 0.4 micron Dimensional accuracy : 2 micron Finish Hard Turning is the cost effective alternative to cylindrical grinding Cost saving : Hardened workpieces can be finished in one clamping.
Read OnHard turning is often performed dry, eliminating both coolant costs and the need for coolant disposal. Hard turning produces easily recycled chips, whereas grinding produces sludge that must go through a costly separation process or be disposed of as industrial waste.
Read OnHard turning, on the other hand, has geometric limitations, which is the case for long and thin components. While hard turning is an option for finishing parts, it's not the preferred one. Precision grinding processes can achieve a 6 Ra surface finish, hold a size tolerance of fewer than 0.0002 inches, and grind parts to within 30 millionths ...
Read OnGrinding of each component then had to be carried out in two operations to produce the diameter and the angled seat respectively. Each sleeve and spool took between 3 and 6 minutes to grind. These cycles have been …
Read OnThe benefits of combining hard turning and grinding can include complete machining, improved component quality and greater flexibility. This technology combination can also be effective in reducing cycle times. Machining a part complete on one machine can drastically reduce throughput times, transport times and interim storage times.
Read OnHard turning generates tensile stresses and strong structural changes in the machined surface while grinding causes compressive stresses and negligible structural changes.

Author: Rudolf Beyer E-Mail: [email protected] The vertical pickup lathe V300 from Index is a recent acquisition of the grinding department of Bilz Werkzeugfabrik in Ostfildern, Germany. Upgraded to a turn-grind center with counter spindle, this lathe allows to hard-turn a …
Read OnIn principle, hard turning is possible on any precision turning machine. However, to develop the full potential of finish hard turning in terms of workpiece quality and process reliability, a lathe specifically designed for finish hard turning …
Read OnCompared with grinding, the most significant difference between hard turning and grinding is that hard turning may induce a relatively deep "surface" compressive residual stress,, while achieving an equivalent or better surface finish, form, and size accuracy. The different characteristics of residual stress induced by hard turning and ...
