Introduction
In modern automotive and industrial manufacturing, precision spring grinding is essential for achieving the required dimensional accuracy, parallelism, and surface finish of coil springs. F-type spring grinding machines, typically vertical automatic setups, play a critical role in grinding both ends of the spring simultaneously. This ensures perfect flatness, consistent free length, and smooth surfaces—all key factors in components such as suspension springs, clutch springs, and valve springs.
As manufacturers push for higher productivity, longer wheel life, and improved part quality, the choice of grinding wheel bond system becomes a decisive factor. To address these evolving needs, CUMI has engineered an advanced solution:
Enhancing F-Type Spring Grinding with CUMI’s BCSG Bond Technology
In spring-end grinding, achieving a uniform finish while maintaining cooler cutting conditions is crucial. F-type machines demand grinding wheels that can withstand heavy loads, deliver consistent results, and maintain their shape throughout long production cycles.
