The FC-250EX and FC-700EX Automatic Diamond and CBN Wheel Truing and Dressing Machines from Rush Machinery, Rushville, N.Y., are designed for truing and dressing of flats, angles and radii on diamond and CBN single wheels and multiple wheel packs, according to a Rush news release. The models feature PLC-controlled, automatic dressing cycles with servo-driven dressing wheel infeed, power swing and oscillation. The machines can be fully enclosed for operator safety and dust control.

Use of FC-250EX and FC-700EX allows for increased efficiency and accuracy by profiling, modifying profiles and truing wheels offline of the production grinding machinery, according to Rush. The machines are said to be simple to operate, quick, accurate and cost-effective. The machines feature wheel diameter capacities up to 28" (700mm). The heavy duty one piece cast iron base provides extra rigidity and minimizes vibration. Standard features include ExVision, a computer-driven vision system with a software program specifically designed for the FC-250EX and FC-700EX.
