DESIGN AND TESTING OF ABRASIVE BELT GRINDER

Abstract

The belt grinding machine, presented in this paper, was designed and tested for grinding any shape of object like circular, rectangular, or polygon. In this project, the work abrasive belt is used to grind the various types material of material such as metal, plastic, wood etc. The abrasive belt is rotated by a three-phase induction motor. The particular abrasive belt grinding machine has been developed for the purposes of experimental research. Hence this project namely adjustable belt grinder. The machining accuracy and surface quality of workpieces are the key factors that ultimately determine the performance of the equipment. The test workpieces are presented in the paper and their characteristics are commented. The paper concludes with comments on achieved results and directions for further research on this topic.
