Key Components Labeled:

1. Workpiece
– Mounted on a rotating chuck or fixture.
– Rotates slowly (~50–500 RPM) for uniform grinding.

2. Grinding Wheel
– Smaller diameter than external grinding wheels.
– High-speed rotation (~10,000–30,000 RPM).
– Moves radially (X-axis) and axially (Z-axis).

3. Wheelhead Assembly
– Houses the spindle motor driving the grinding wheel.
– Adjustable for wheel wear compensation.

4. Machine Base & Column
– Provides rigidity and absorbs vibrations.

5. Cross Slide & Traverse Mechanism
– Controls axial (Z-axis) and radial (X-axis) feed motions.

6. Coolant System
– Nozzles direct coolant to the grinding zone to reduce heat/swarf.

7. Control Panel
– For adjusting speed, feed, and depth of cut (manual/CNC).

Optional Features:

• Dressing Unit: To true and dress the grinding wheel.
• Automated Loading: For CNC/internal grinders.
• In-Process Gauging: For precision measurement.

Types of Internal Grinding Machines:

1. Chucking-Type: Workpiece held in a chuck.
2. Planetary-Type: Workpiece stationary; wheel orbits internally.
3. Centerless Internal: For non-chucked cylindrical parts.
