J. Schneeberger Machinen AG offers two new grinding machines: the Gemini NGM (pictured) and the Sirius NGS. With both machines, space requirement was give special attention to achieve smallest footprint with a large work envelope.

The Gemini NGM configuration has been expanded to loading systems with two or four pallets and three sizes of wheel loaders with wheel package capabilities of up to 25 pockets. Generous and flexible options and configurations make this machine an ideal production machine for a large range of applications and special solutions. Linear axis technology is available.

The Sirius NGS has an extremely small machine size with a large work envelope for a machine designed to grind indexable tooling, microtools, profiled inserts and many more high production applications. This machine too offers a wealth of options for loading, laser marking, measuring and dressing make it a cost effective solution for the high production application. The machine is standard built with linear motor technology.
