Grinding Machines & Equipment

This Star Cutter Co. video highlights the company's NXT 5-axis tool grinder, a versatile CNC machine featuring a small footprint and a large grind zone.

DCM Tech's Punch and Die Grinder is a turnkey package with auto-feed control, self-dressing CBN abrasives, through-spindle coolant and universal fixturing that accepts Amada, Trumpf, Salvagnini, Finnpower, Weideman, Whitney, and other style tooling. Sharpen large station dies and rooftop/shear angle tooling up to 10 degrees with the standard fixturing package.

The Grinding Doc offers tips to cut dressing-in times as much as 35 minutes.

As an external loader, STUDER roboLoad measures only 59.06" (1.50 m) wide: half the width of the machine itself. This saves valuable shop floor space, and yet the system offers plenty of room for workpieces manually loaded on six trays – each measuring 42.52" x 12.6" (1080 mm x 320 mm) – within a comparatively small work area.

The thermal stability is exceptionally high due to an innovative machine design and a rigid 5‐axis configuration. Field tests have demonstrated an unusually high Cpk process capability. This is of particular importance when grinding short‐run custom tooling where accuracy and "first‐tool‐good" are critical.

The NXT grinder is a versatile 5-axis CNC machine with a small footprint, large grind zone and a modular design that quickly adapts to demanding application requirements. ESPRIT uses a digital twin of the manufacturing envelope to simplify the programming process and deliver edit-free G-code.

The GrindSmart 660XW is a 6-axis tool and peel grinding machine allows the user to utilize cost-effective and advanced lean manufacturing principles; termed as "Ultra-Lean Grinding Process." The machine includes a 6•position wheel changer and linear motors on all axes. It features a traveling high-speed workhead.

The longest-lasting, fastest-cutting abrasive is especially effective for hard-to-grind applications like stainless steel weldments, nickel alloys and ferrous metals.

The abrasive grain used in the Blue Moon TZ is very sharp-edged, microcrystalline and has an elongated trapezoidal rod shape. Blue Moon TZ grinding wheels are particularly impressive due to their very low thermal load in the contact zone. The high profile retention of our grit combination leads to extended dressing intervals at high stock removal rates and increases economic efficiency.

The wheels feature an innovative Norton Quantum Prime nano-crystalline ceramic grain, embedded in an optimized matrix of Norton Vitrium3 bond. The combination of the micro-fracture properties of the new ceramic grain from Saint-Gobain Abrasives and the retention capability of the bond ensures long wheel life, excellent grinding efficiency, and consistent part quality with superior finish which results in cost savings of 30% and more.
