surface grinder and end grinder difference between

Surface grinder:

Generally speaking, the worktable of the surface grinder is a rectangular electromagnetic worktable, which is sucked or clamped on the worktable and makes longitudinal reciprocating motion. The grinding wheel holder can make transverse intermittent movement along the sliding seat, and the sliding seat can move intermittently along the guide rail to grind the workpiece with the periphery of the grinding wheel.

End grinder:

The end grinder is generally divided into horizontal end grinder and vertical end grinder, which are different according to the working direction of the spindle. Vertical shaft end grinder, the grinding wheel shaft is vertical, the grinding wheel rack can do intermittent vertical feed movement along the column guide rail, the workpiece can be continuously grinded on the rotating worktable, and the production efficiency is high. (vertical end grinder: two vertical grinding shafts are used to grind the upper and lower surfaces of the workpiece at the same time, which makes the machining efficiency higher.) Horizontal shaft end grinder, grinding wheel shaft and workpiece spindle are placed horizontally. This kind of end grinder is suitable for circular thin-section workpiece.
