In present surface finishing system ceramic sleeve is finished using single point cutting tool on lathe machine which is oriented towards labour intensive & heavy reliance on operator skill. This process consumes more time and there is a lot of wastage of material. This paper presents an approach to develop a system in which automation in a motion of workpiece and grinding wheel by using mechanical devices such as induction motor, pneumatic cylinder and sensors. The outcome of a new system should be decreased cycle time of surface finishing, increase in production rate, a decrease in wastage of material, precise surface finishing, less interference of worker in a machining process.
