Grinding machine platform with quick change configuration

The FLX Quick Change from Star Cutter is a compact five-axis tool and cutter grinder designed for tool resharpening, prototype work and hand-loaded production.

A quick-change two-wheel system allows operators to change wheel packs in minutes, reducing setup time when moving between tool geometries or grinding operations. The machine’s compact footprint makes it well suited for shops where floor space is limited, while its thermally stable design helps maintain grinding accuracy as shop conditions change throughout the day.

The FLX also features a direct-drive rotary axis that provides precise positioning and smooth axis motion for consistent grinding performance across a wide range of cutting tool applications.

Automated loading and unloading can be added as production volumes increase, allowing manufacturers to expand the machine’s capabilities without investing in a new grinding platform.

The FLX Quick Change is equipped with Star Cutter’s redesigned NCI/HMI software, now standard across the company’s five-axis grinding platforms. The updated interface includes data logging and collection tools that provide greater visibility into machine performance, production trends, and operating efficiency.
