Grinding Machines

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.

With greater scope in terms of its travel capabilities, the new Vgrind 360 is able to machine tools up to a diameter of 200mm, depending on the geometry. Just like its predecessor, the Vgrind 160, the same effective kinematics with two vertical spindles allow for multi-level machining.

Okuma’s new GA26W high speed, compact grinder is now equipped with the intelligent OSP-P300G CNC. Okuma’s open architecture OSP-P control runs on a Windows-based platform and fully integrates the machine, motors, drives and encoders, allowing for enhanced machine performance and true customization to suit particular machining needs.

Shigiya (USA) Ltd.’s GPD double-drive CNC cylindrical grinders feature a completely new design that uses a double center drive system. These grinders are based on the fundamental concepts of no setup required, improved processing accuracy and improved maintenance.

Shigiya (USA) Ltd. says its new GPS-30B CNC cylindrical grinder offers high-quality performance at an affordable price. A streamlined machine design, using common parts, and an efficient machine manufacturing process reduce costs and increase affordability.

Fives offers the Landis-Bryant RU2 Fuel MGMT grinder. This high-precision grinding technology incorporates a modular multiple-surface grinder with extended flexibility to grind most complex components for fuel systems, valve and drive trains, bearings, aerospace and medical applications.

If tight tolerances and surface finishes are everyday work for you, the GPEL-30.25 meets your most demanding process requirements for quality, flexibility, and productivity. Powerful, user-friendly control and a highly reliable spindle are standout attributes of this new high-speed eccentric pin grinder.

For the large-scale production of flat precision components Thielenhaus Microfinish says it presents a particularly cost-efficient, compact machining solution. In close collaboration with the Japanese mechanical engineers Nissei, the ultraprecision machine tool producers offer a double-disc grinding machine characterized by four advantages: precision, cost-effectiveness, ease of use and compactness.

Fives’ Universal Landis Twin Turret grinding machine’s newly configured design provides a common platform for multiple machine configurations and processes. It is far stiffer than conventional machines, features remarkable thermal stability, and offers a compact machine footprint, according to the company.
