Grinding Machines

ANCA’s new RoboTeach solution enables greater efficiency and accuracy when setting up robot automation on their CNC grinding machines. By automating the teaching of the RoboMate FANUC 200iD robot, the new product significantly decreases downtime, supports greater productivity, and reduces the need for specialized operator skills.

The deluxe line of variable-speed grinders from Palmgren delivers the power, precision and versatility to complete a wide range of finishing applications. At high speeds, they reportedly are the ideal choice for heavy material removal, deburring and chamfering.

ANCA offers the all-new 2017 TX7 Linear CNC tool and cutter grinder. Built upon the TX7+, the new TX7 Linear has been updated with ANCA innovations that ensure its users stay competitive as the production and quality requirements of precision CNC tool grinding become more demanding.

In grinding technology, the trend is toward full-sequence machining, especially for complex workpieces that need to be completed on versatile grinding machines. Combining multiple operations into one machine cycle saves on transport and warehousing cost. It also results in higher overall precision. High-quality milling tools, indexable inserts and step drills are all examples. Universal grinding machines required for producing tools like these are the trademarks of HAAS Schleifmaschinen GmbH in Trossingen at the edge of the Black Forest.

The AGN4 angular wheelhead CNC grinding machine from Weldon Solutions has been designed to produce high precision small parts and is capable of performing plunge, contour and traverse grinding operations. This compact machine occupies only 30 sq. ft. of floor space, but its standard configuration makes it adaptable for factory automation.
