The WMW Meuselwitz SFW 400-2 is a used precision surface grinding machine — sometimes referred to as a flat grinder — built in 1970 and currently located in Germany. Surface grinding machines are used to produce flat, smooth, and accurately dimensioned surfaces on metal workpieces by bringing a rotating abrasive wheel into contact with the part, and are a staple of precision engineering and toolmaking workshops. WMW Meuselwitz was a manufacturer operating under the East German WMW (Werkzeugmaschinenwerk) combine, a grouping of machine tool builders known for producing robust, industrially-oriented machine tools.
The machine is specified for a grinding length of 1,000 mm and a grinding width of 400 mm, with a maximum workpiece height of 500 mm. The overall table dimensions measure 2,230 × 670 mm, with a working table surface area of 1,340 × 400 mm and a magnetic plate measuring 1,000 × 410 mm — the magnetic chuck being the primary workholding method for ferrous parts on this type of machine. The table is rated to carry a maximum load of 450 kg, and the largest selectable table stroke is 1,150 mm.
The grinding spindle runs at 1,440 rpm, with a maximum throat depth to the spindle nose of 330 mm. Total installed power is 18.2 kW. The hydraulic table drive is infinitely variable across two ranges: 1 to 30 m/min and 2 to 30 m/min, giving the operator fine control over cutting conditions for different materials and operations.
Infeed and cross-feed controls are notably precise. Manual cross feed is adjustable in 0.01 mm increments, while manual vertical infeed of the grinding wheel is possible in steps of 0.002 mm, with a minimum infeed of 0.001 mm. Automatic infeed is selectable between 0.001 mm and 0.1 mm per pass, and the largest selectable total infeed amount is 5.0 mm, allowing for programmed stock removal over a series of passes without repeated manual intervention.
The machine is capable of cross grinding, plunge grinding, face grinding, and grinding with a straight grinding track, making it suitable for a range of surface finishing and stock-removal tasks. Included with the machine are a coolant system with tank and pump, a hydraulic aggregate, and a control cabinet. The machine itself weighs approximately 3.5 tonnes, with overall dimensions of 1.9 × 3.3 × 2.25 m (length × width × height); the electrical cabinet measures 1.0 × 0.4 × 1.4 m and is separate from the main machine envelope.
