Crankshaft Grinder Machine

Crankshaft grinding consists of removing a minute amount of finished material from the rod and main journals to rebuild the part back to OEM spec. The full 25 step crankshaft remanufacturing process is quite intensive but is critical to complete engine rebuild.A grinding machine is a machine tool with an abrasive wheel that is used to achieve fine finishes or light cuts on metals and other materials. It is a machining operation that is used to improve the accuracy of a product that has previously been machined.The crankshaft is essentially the backbone of the internal combustion engine. The crankshaft is responsible for the proper operation of the engine and converting a linear motion to a rotational motion.Grinding machines fall into five categories: surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, centerless grinders, internal grinders and specials. Surface grinders are used to produce flat, angular and irregular surfaces.
