Rollomatic, a leading machine tool manufacturer based in Le Landeron, Switzerland, maintains its global leadership position in the field of multiaxis CNC grinding by launching a brand new hybrid model for combination grinding of tool geometries as well as peel grinding for neck, plunge and other blank prep operations.

The new GrindSmart 660XW is a 6-axis tool and peel grinding machine. It allows the user to utilize cost-effective and advanced lean manufacturing principles; termed as "Ultra-Lean Grinding Process." The machine includes a 6•position wheel changer and linear motors on all axes.

Workhead: It features a traveling high-speed workhead. Peel grinding for blank prepara•on and neck grinding are included in the same chucking.

Peel grinding: Blank prepara•on for common-shank rotary cutting tools, neck grinding for long-reach mold & die endmills and plunge grinding operations can be performed.

Steady rest: This machine includes an innova•ve steady rest systems designed for grinding endmills as well as for drill point grinding.

Spindle motor: The grinding spindle is synchronous and is rated 20 hp.

Thermal stability and Cpk process capability index: The thermal stability is excep•onally good due to an innova•ve 6•axis de•sign and double-skin coolant enclosure. Field tests have demonstrated an unusually high Cpk process capability index for any tool grinding machine.

Grinding range: From micro•size range to 1/2" (12.7 mm). And many more new features.
