Oval diameter on centerless grinding  

May 4, 2009

We are one of the main supplier for automotive 2-4 wheels and industrial rubber part. we are producing for millions of rubber bushing each month. actually we are using centerless grinding machine to fix the outer diameter of rubber bush. in fact we have great number of NG products of oval diameters. the output of our centerless machine producing products with a size of runout of diameter from both sides approx 0.03 mm. if a side direction measured 25.008, on the other direction measured 25.048 with the direction of X to Y. on the same case, mismatch of dimension on one end side diamater and another end side diameter of the busing also occured in all of NG products. what happen with my grinding machine?
my team already decreasing the machine speed with reducing the slope of horizontal setting and RPM. but the oval diameters still occured. if it possible with specify the base rail reducing the oval diameter?
please give the solutions..

Hi, Dino. This question seems to be more about machining than about this site's focus, metal finishing. But we'll see if anyone can help. Good luck.
