This type of grinding equipment utilizes two rotating abrasive discs to simultaneously process opposing sides of a workpiece. For example, it can precisely grind the thickness of metal parts or create parallel surfaces on non-metallic materials like ceramics. This dual-wheel configuration offers significant advantages over single-wheel grinding.
The simultaneous grinding action delivers increased productivity and improved accuracy in part thickness and parallelism. This equipment often plays a vital role in industries requiring high-volume, precision grinding, such as automotive component manufacturing, bearing production, and the fabrication of cutting tools. Its development was driven by the need for faster and more precise machining methods, significantly impacting modern manufacturing processes.
