Rollomatic, a leading machine tool manufacturer based in Le Landeron, Switzerland, maintains its global leadership position in the field of 6-axis CNC tool grinding by highlighting the model 630XW3 with a 16-station wheel changer. This model is part of the GrindSmart® series of tool & cutter grinding machines with an axis configuration that incorporates 6 fully interpolated axes (3 rotary and 3 linear) and is unique in this industry. The machine also incorporates linear axis drive technology.

GrindSmart® 6-axis tool grinding machine with 16-station wheel and nozzle changer.

Highlights:

  • Simultaneous change of wheel packs and associated coolant manifolds with coolant nozzles.
  • World's smallest footprint of a 16-station wheel changer (only ads 30" to the width of the machine).
  • Tool unload/load happens simultaneously during wheel change to shorten cycle time.
  • Embedded intelligence to keep frequently used wheel packs in front to shorten cycle time.
  • The wheel arbors are HSK-type with a proprietary attachment design that guarantees less than .00005" TIR over the life of the grinding spindle.
  • Allows highest productivity in small-batch grinding of complex and high-performance cutting tools.
  • Enhanced autonomy.
  • Uses Rollomatic's VGPro desk top tool design program.
  • Machines are assembled under a lean manufacturing program.
