We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Grinding Spindle",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Vertical turning lathes mill and grind too from
Dugard, which we summarised at the time by saying "A range of elevating cross rail-type vertical turning lathes machine parts up to 2.8m diameter by 1.6m height, including milling, drilling and, optionally, grinding too".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Machine radius grinds hard metal punches/dies from
Danobat Group: "A radius grinding machine produces hard metal punches and cutting dies for the can, battery, copper pipe and cutting tool insert manufacturers".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Emag UK
concerning its PM 2 crankshaft grinder
- take a look at Grinding crankshaft pins and bearings in one
which says: "A cylindrical grinding machine built for machining passenger car engine crankshafts up to 500mm long, grinds pin bearings and main bearings in one set-up".
Take a look also at the news release from Tyrolit, OD wheels grind hard/'exotic'/tough alloys,
as well as Cylindrical grinding developments shown from Danobat Group,
and Pick-up VTL machines shafts completely from Emag UK.
