A loading device for a plunge-cut grinding machine for centerless external cylindrical grinding includes a receiving frame, a support body, and a displacement actuator. The receiving frame is open in a gravitational direction and is for receiving a blank workpiece to be machined. The support body forms a support base for the blank workpiece. The displacement actuator is for axially displacing the receiving frame relative to the support body and into a grinding gap of the plunge-cut grinding machine. The receiving frame includes a conveying stop on an axially facing end face. The conveying stop is for axially expelling a final workpiece arranged in the grinding gap.

A double-disc straight groove cylindrical-component surface grinding disc, includes a first grinding disc and a second grinding disc, rotating relative to each other; the the first grinding disc's working face is planar; the second grinding disc's surface, opposite the first grinding disc, includes a set of radial straight grooves, with groove faces of the straight grooves are the working face of the second grinding disc; the cross-sectional outline of the working face of the second grinding disc is arcuate or V-shaped or is a V-shape having an arc; during grinding, a workpiece spins inside the straight grooves, while under the effect of an advancing apparatus, the workpiece slides in translational motion along the straight grooves. The described grinding disc device has high-volume production capabilities, and the shape accuracy and size consistency of the cylindrical roller's cylindrical surface and the efficiency in machining are improved, and machining cost is reduced.

A wheel burr cleaning device comprises a lower turnover system, a lower turnover system, a center hole burr brushing system, a back cavity burr brushing system, an upper lifting rotation system. The present disclosure not only can be used for removing burrs from the center hole of the wheel, the roots of the flanges and the edge of each spoke, but also can adapt to the wheels of different sizes and different widths.

The present subject matter relates to automated gemstone feeding in a gemstone processing machine. In an implementation, the gemstone processing machine has a feeding conduit unit to receive a rough gemstone affixed to a holder from a user. The feeding conduit unit delivers the holder to a base plate. An actuating arm picks the holder from the base plate and transfers the holder to a pre-defined position in the gemstone processing machine. The automated feeding mechanism is controlled by the computing device and uses low-cost hardware equipment having limited or no manual intervention. Thus, providing an apt tradeoff between the accuracy of transfer of the rough gemstone and the cost associated with the equipment used for the processing of the gemstone.

A workpiece spindle for a magnetic-shoe external cylindrical grinding machine a spindle for rotating a ring-shaped workpiece, a holding device for holding the ring-shaped workpiece and a hydraulic magnetic core lifting device coupled to the spindle and to the holding device to vary an axial spacing between the holding device and the spindle. The holding device has a magnetic shoe for clamping the ring-shaped workpiece in the holding device.

A method for processing a ceramic honeycomb structure, the method comprising subjecting an outer peripheral surface of the ceramic honeycomb structure to centerless grinding in an in-feed mode by bringing a rotationally driving grinding wheel into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the ceramic honeycomb structure rotationally supported by an adjusting wheel, a blade, and a press roller.

A method for producing one or more bearing components along a production line, comprising honing the bearing components along the production line, cleaning the bearing components along the production line, grinding the bearing components along the production line, and transporting the bearing components along the production line utilizing one or more transport units.

The disclosure relates to a hardbanding removal apparatus and method for use with oilfield tubulars and downhole tools. The apparatus includes a tiltable frame with support arm, a grinding wheel coupled to the support arm, and an idler wheel assembly to supply mechanical feedback to the grinding wheel through the support arm. The mechanical feedback allows the grinding wheel to remove hardbanding accurately and uniformly on tubulars that are eccentric, curved, or have eccentric hardbanding. The tiltable frame enables grinding of tapered sections of the tubular without reorienting the tubular. The method includes removing hardbanding using the apparatus.
