Grinding Machines & Equipment

Metal-bond profiled diamond and CBN grinding wheels are available for serial grinding of workpieces made of carbides, hardened steels and ceramics.Lach Diamond says its »contour-profiled« procedure is a cost killer in the best possible way. Previous grinding times with resin/hybrid-bond grinding wheels can be reduced by up to 60 percent.

The updated U-Grind by Strausak AG, part of the Rollomatic group, offers an expanded 6-axis robot loader system as an option.

The spark grinding machine »Dia-2200-mini« from Lach Diamond is for the production and service of diamond tools for the wood and composite industry. Its universal 5-axis CNC system is designed for the automatic sharpening of diamond tools and saw blades with up to 530 mm in diameter.

Using industrial robots is an important element in creating more autonomy and efficiency. Rollomatic has been involved in developing advanced human-like robots for some years now.

GMSi Group Inc. offers premium-grade surface grinders for all levels of production. Rigidity, efficiency, and accuracy are built into all models with capacities ranging from our most basic 6" x 14" table up to our double column 50" x 100".

GMSi Group Inc. offers the Dowell VHR-500/600 high-precision, multiple-function grinding machine with a vertical and horizontal spindle. The vertical Y-axis spindle uses a pneumatic counterweight to reduce ballscrew and servomotor loading and make movement smoother and extend machine life. The horizontal spindle uses six ball bearings for heavy grinding.

Suitable for small shops, Palmgren's 6 x 12 bench surface grinder is an economical option because it has many of the same features found on larger units. The grinder's Meehanite cast iron construction reduces vibrations while maintaining rigidity and accuracy.

ANCA's EDGe-Spark erosion power generator controls the energy level of the eroding spark for optimal surface finish, material removal and cycle time. It also enables a double-ended HSK wheel spindle for eroding PCD and grinding carbide and HSS.

As increasingly stringent carbon emissions regulations are being imposed on the automotive industry, one solution to ensure compliance with these regulations is with variable engine timing using cam pieces. The JUCAM 1S from JUNKER specializes in the ultraprecise, efficient grinding of cam pieces.

ANCA offers the FCP4 high-production drill grinder (FCP4). Producing drills from 0.8 to 4mm with the new technology provides an exciting opportunity for drill makers, with important efficiencies and cost benefits by manufacturing a complete HSS drill on a single machine, according to the company. From a blank piece of raw material, the FCP4 grinds the flute, relief and point, producing a finished drill.

NUM's latest-generation CNC systems are helping the Star Cutter Co. to maintain its position as a world leader in cutting tool machines. Star Cutter's new 5-axis tool and cutter grinding machine – the NTG 6RL – is based entirely on NUM's Flexium+ CNC platform, and fully automates the high-speed production and reconditioning of complex cutting tools.

The new JET three-wheel belt bench grinders are ideal additions to fabrication and machine shops for grinding castings or deburring and finishing ferrous and nonferrous metal workpieces. To accommodate a wide range of grinding needs on either flat or angular surfaces, these grinders come in three sizes, including 1" x 42", 2" x 48" and 2"x 60" belt diameters.
