HD Plain Cylindrical Grinders

The ME13 series of cylindrical grinding machines are used for the external grinding of the cylindrical and conical surfaces of parts. The ME13 grinders are suitable for use in tool shops, machinery repair facilities and small batch process production workshops. The ME1332 machines feature a reciprocating worktable, rapid traverse for the wheelhead, periodic feed, a retractable tailstock center sleeve, hydraulically controlled lubrication and easy to operate controls. These grinders are capable of grinding to a surface roughness of Ra 0.32 um, with a working range of 0.59" to 12.59" (15 - 320 mm). The movement of the worktable on the ME1350 machines is steplessly controlled by a hydraulic system or by a handwheel. The rapid traverse is controlled hydraulically, while the infeed is either hydraulic or handwheel controlled. These grinders have a surface roughness grinding capability of Ra 0.2 um, with a working range of 1.18" to 19.68" (30 - 500 mm).
