Machinery Rebuilder Terms
–
The average length of time a component will last before it fails.
– A piece which guides,
supports and reduces friction between both fixed and moving machine parts.
– Shining and smoothing
of a surface using an abrasive material. Buffing compounds are commonly
embedded in a belt or soft wheel.

– A microprocessor controller dedicated to a machining tool. A CNC
machine has programmable numerical controls to activate its spindle drive
and servos, controlling various operations.
– The use of
weights to balance a work piece or rotating device, reducing machine vibrations
while maximizing cutting force. Spindle rebuilding often involves this
method.
– The act of performing
adjustments to a new or contaminated system in order to ensure proper
operation and maximized production.
– A disassembly
process that is used for products that will be recycled, such as vehicles,
in order to reuse their materials.
– The capability
of products to be utilized for a longer period of time than other comparable
products with minimal degradation.
– Any of various processes
used to provide edges, surfaces and corners with desired properties. Common
finishing practices include preparation, conditioning, cleaning and coating.
– A machining procedure
in which excess material is removed from a work piece by way of a powered
abrasive stone, wheel, belt, sheet, paste, compound, etc.
– The act of physically
checking a machine or product for assurance that it meets specified dimensions
or performance levels.
– Components
that are built to specific tolerances. The similarity allows them to be
mass produced and substituted for one another.
– A finishing operation
using a fine-grained abrasive mixed in with a liquid to correct minor
surface imperfections and produce a tight fit between mating surfaces.
– The layout
of a feeding mechanism, machine and product so that the components are
properly aligned prior to and during assembly operation.
– A process that uses
abrasive material attached to a backing. Polishing blends contours and
improves surface finish.
– The process in which
materials that would otherwise be destroyed are collected, processed and
remanufactured into new products.
– A process by
which a product is brought up to a new standard through extensive work
for use in a new application.
– The act of revising
and/or reorganizing with a new and improved set of machinery tools.
– A control system which
converts a diminutive mechanical motion into one that requires much more
power.
– A mechanical part,
found on CNC machines, which revolves and serves as axes for other, larger
rotating parts.
– A process utilizing
a dressing tool, such as a diamond, to ensure that a grinding wheel is
concentric and round. Truing assures that there will be minimal vibrations.
