Important Parts and Their Role for Automating Your Centerless Grinder

At GCH Tool Group, we offer a variety of automation options, including:

Robotics to Provide Specialized Grinder Automation

Your automated grinding machine may involve robotics as part of the automation. Don’t worry—despite sounding complex and expensive, the robotics are quite simple and durable. They won’t break due to the heavy vibration and otherwise rigorous demand of the grinding process.

Bar Feeders to Automate the Part Feeding Process

Also known as automatic parts loaders, these bar feeders will deliver a constant supply of your raw machine stock for the manufacturing of parts. They are what automation is designed for—repetitive, simple, yet integral tasks to the product lifecycle.

Part Hoppers to Help Improve Part Delivery

Part hoppers work with a vibratory feeder bowl to deliver and control the number of parts that are being fed into the bowl at any time. They are able to store these parts and use a control device to deliver the precise number of parts to the feeder, one at a time. This process ensures that you won’t face an overload in your feeding process.

Bowl Fixtures to Improve Part Feeding

Your bowl feeder will mainly supply small parts and components to the production line or sort bulk items for fast use. As mentioned above, they’ll combine with your part hoppers to ensure that the production line remains fed but without overloading.

Overhead Gantries for Smooth Operations

They will load and unload jobs from machine to machine, ensuring that your entire production line operates smoothly without interruption or hang-ups that cost time and money.

Conveyer Systems for Centerless Grinders

Conveyor systems brings your parts to exactly where they need to be—all done automatically and with machine precision.
