Abstract - The machine integrates advanced grinding mechanisms to enhance precision, efficiency, and flexibility in material removal processes. Key design objectives included optimizing belt tension, achieving uniform abrasive contact, and minimizing vibrations during operation. The methodology involved computational modeling, prototype fabrication, and performance testing on various materials, such as metals and composites. Results demonstrated significant improvements in surface quality, reduced processing time, and increased tool lifespan compared to conventional grinding techniques. These findings underscore the machine's potential to improve manufacturing productivity and quality standards.

Key Words:  belt grinding machine, surface finishing, material removal, abrasive tools, manufacturing efficiency.
