Using the throughfeed process with a wide CBN grinding wheel, the workpieces pass in seamless sequence through the machine, provided all workpieces have only a single diameter requiring a uniform grinding operation. The axial force of the regulating wheel, which is generally inclined at an angle of 1.5 – 3.5°, „pulls“ the flow of workpieces through the wheels towards the end of the grinding cell. Used in conjunction with an automated loading and unloading system, the workpieces pass through the machine without interruption.
