Definition

A grinding machine is a machine for material removal with geometrically non-defined, bonded cutting edges, where the relative movement between tool and workpiece is rotational or linear. The machine further must provide relative feed and positioning movements between tool and workpiece. The movements between tool support (spindle) and workpiece follow a defined geometrical path – it is path defined.

Material removal with geometrical non-defined cutting edges is considered as material removal that is made by a large number of cutting edges normally on abrasive grains, which are undefined, with respect to number, shape, and/or position, where the envelope over all stochastically distributed cutting edges defines the tool geometry.

Grinding with linear relative movement is called pitch grinding. If the reciprocating linear movement is coupled with a continuous rotational movement, the process is called honing. Belt grinders, where a belt to which the abrasive...
