Offered to customers who want to increase productivity by properly selecting and using abrasives. This course is designed to provide you with an understanding of abrasives and grinding wheels, which includes safety, truing and dressing, wheel selection, plus other ideas. Attendees gain insight to the workshop principles through informal lecture, instructor demonstrations, and open discussion. You will apply these principles with hands-on practice.
Grinding Parallel and Perpendicular Planes
3-day Workshop or 1-day Seminar
This training module covers the fundamentals of making surfaces flat, square and parallel. The course continues into sharp corners, radii, centerlines, and tangent points. Rapidly changing technology has caused many shops to lose sight of these fundamentals. Recovering them can help even experienced craftsmen to greatly increase productivity. The key concepts of this course apply to most precision grinding operations. For effectiveness of presentation, the workshop is presented based on the surface grinding application.
Minimum of three, maximum of 12 participants required. You will receive in-depth one-on-one, hands-on learning. Workshop may be scheduled at the L.I.G.H.T. Grinding Laboratory (on Parker Majestic machines) or at a suitable, customer designated facility. Workshop can be customized to meet your specific needs.
This course is for the machinist who needs an entry-level course in the operation of a jig grinder. It covers the components, maintenance and safety of a Moore Jig Grinder. Operation basics of indicating, table positioning, workholding, and fixturing of the work piece. Spindle selection, air pressure adjustment, speeds and feeds as well as wheel selection. Hands on applications include jig-grinding basics of roughing and finishing holes while measuring with gage pins and bore gages. This course can be customized to your needs. A pre-requisite is the grinding application class or some previous experience in surface or jig grinding.
