In recent years, with the progress and development of society, the performance, variety and output of grinding machines have been continuously improved and increased. Nowadays, the development of grinding machines has been more and more rapid. It is an important process in many machine processing. The following is a classification of some grinding machines for your reference.

(1) External cylindrical grinding machine: It is a basic series of ordinary type, mainly used for grinding cylindrical and conical outer surfaces.

(2) Internal cylindrical grinding machine: It is a basic series of ordinary type, mainly used for grinding cylindrical and conical inner surfaces. In addition, there are grinding machines with both internal and external cylindrical grinding.

(3) Coordinate grinding machine: It is an internal cylindrical grinding machine with a precision coordinate positioning device.

(4) Centerless grinding machine: The workpiece is clamped by centerless clamping, generally supported between the guide wheel and the bracket, and the workpiece is driven to rotate by the guide wheel. It is mainly used for grinding cylindrical surfaces. For example, bearing shaft support, etc.

(5) Surface grinding machine: It is mainly used for grinding the surface of the workpiece.

a. Hand-cranked grinders are suitable for machining smaller workpieces with higher precision. They can process various special-shaped workpieces including curved surfaces, planes, grooves, etc.

b. Large water grinders are suitable for machining larger workpieces. Their machining precision is not high, which is different from hand-cranked grinders.

(6) Belt grinder: A grinder that uses a fast-moving abrasive belt for grinding.

(7) Honing machine: A grinder used to hone various surfaces of workpieces.

(8) Grinding machine: A grinder used to grind the plane or cylindrical inner and outer surfaces of workpieces.

(9) Guideway grinder: A grinder mainly used for grinding the guideway surface of machine tools.

(10) Tool grinder: A grinder used for grinding tools.

(11) Multi-purpose grinder: A grinder used to grind cylindrical, conical inner and outer surfaces or planes, and can grind a variety of workpieces with follower devices and accessories.

(12) Special-purpose grinder: A special-purpose machine tool for grinding certain types of parts. According to the processing object, it can be divided into: spline shaft grinder, crankshaft grinder, cam grinder, gear grinder, thread grinder, curve grinder, etc.

(13) End grinder: A grinder used for grinding gear cross sections.
