Overview
The grinding and coating workshop is a necessary workshop in the production process of hard alloys. This workshop will be used to finish the grinding and coating process of hard alloys. Reasonable workshop design can improve the production efficiency, reduce the cost and ensure the normal production of hard alloys.
Workshop Functions
1. Grinding process: grinding and polishing of hard alloys;
2. Coating process: spray coating, roll coating and brushing/painting coating of hard alloys;
3. Cut off process: cutting hard alloy components into required shape and size;
4. Inspection process: inspection of finished hard alloys.
Workflow
1. Coated hard alloy components need to be ground before their surface can be processed. The components will be loaded into the grinding machines. Different kinds of grinding tools, like grinding wheels and abrasive belts, will be used to grind the components.
2. After grinding, the components need to go through coating process. Different coating methods, like spraying, rolling, brushing and painting, will be used to coat the components.
3. In the cut off process, the components need to be cut into required shape and size. Various cutting machines, like milling machines and lathes, will be used to complete this process.
4. After cut off process, the components need to be inspected to make sure their quality. Quality inspection equipment, like microscopes and calipers, will be used for inspection.
Workshop Equipment
1. Grinding machines: CNC grinding machines, grinding robots and related grinding tools;
2. Coating machines: spray coating machines, roll coating machines, brushing/painting machines and related coating tools;
3. Cutting machines: milling machines, lathes and related cutting tools;
4. Inspection machines: microscopes and calipers.
Safety
The grinding and coating workshop has a lot of potential safety hazards. Therefore, necessary safety measures should be implemented in the workshop. For example, safety guards should be installed around grinding machines to protect the operator from grindstone fragments; the coating process should be equipped with dust removing devices, so that operators will not be expose to hazardous airborne particles; protective equipment, like face shields and respirators, should be provided for operators; fire extinguishers should be placed within reach for emergencies.
Conclusion
The grinding and coating workshop is an essential workshop to complete the hard alloy production process. With the reasonable design of this workshop, the production efficiency, cost and safety conditions can all be improved.
