Manufacturing and machining rotary tools with VOLLMER: efficient and precise!

The VGrind 360, VOLLMER’s latest tool grinding machine, is equipped with enhanced travel distances in order to machine carbide tools up to a diameter of 100 millimeters. Thanks to its two vertical spindles, the VGrind 360 also allows for tried-and-tested multi-level machining. This enables tool manufacturers to quickly and precisely produce large numbers of milling cutters, drills, etc. whose blanks are made from either solid carbide or HSS (high speed steel).

Grinding Machines Integrate Eroding and/or Grinding Capabilities

Grinding Machines Integrate Eroding and/or Grinding Capabilities
Based on a highly efficient and productive two-in-one concept, Walter Helitronic Vision Diamond 400 L, Helitronic Power Diamond 400 and Helitronic Diamond Evolution tool grinding machines, from United Grinding North America Inc., integrate both eroding and/or grinding capabilities into single grinding machine platforms. From a production standpoint, the two-in-one concept lets users completely erode tools (PCD) and completely grind tools (carbide) using the same machine to eliminate the time-consuming task of moving workpieces to a second machine.

Studer S31 & S33 unveiling in the Alps

The marketing folks at Fritz Studer AG, Thun, Switzerland, understand the importance of having a distinctive, eye-catching location for introducing grinding machines. In March, they selected the Hagerbach Test Gallery in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland to host the Studer Press Event 2019. The gallery was founded as an R&D facility for underground mining tunnel construction, but the subterranean setting has been the location of numerous seminars, parties, concerts and product presentations.

Witness the experience for yourself as captured by CTE Editor Alan Richter.
