Abstract (en)

An apparatus (1) for performing grinding operations on a component (CP) comprises: a base (2), configured to rest on a supporting surface on which the apparatus (1) is positioned; a part-holder spindle (3), configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis (A) and including a gripping element, to hold the component in place; a tailstock (4), aligned with the part-holder spindle (3) along the longitudinal axis (A) and movable towards and away from the spindle (3) for keeping the component, in use, between the part-holder spindle (3) and the tailstock (4) along the longitudinal axis (A); an operating unit (5), movable along an operating direction, parallel to the longitudinal axis (A), and along a transversal direction (T), perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (A). The operating unit (5) includes a first group of tools (51), configured to perform mechanical operations on the component. The longitudinal axis (A) is inclined, relative to a vertical axis (V) parallel to the direction of the weight force, by an angle of inclination (AC) of less than 90°.
