Model 2150 CNC DedTru 3-axis centerless grinding system is available from Unison. The Model 2150 utilizes Unison's proprietary software and control, which allows an operator to customize centerless grinding, such as through feed, infeed and secondary operations, including plunge grinding, tapers and profile grinding of cylindrical parts with a range of diameters from 0.005" (.127mm) to 5" (127mm).
The Model 2150's control can store up to 10,000 different part programs in addition to 10,000 wheel programs, which can be easily saved or recalled by the operator. The control station features a color flat panel touchscreen monitor and push button keypad conveniently mounted on a swivel at work level.
Unison's EZ Software is simple to use and eliminates the need for an operator to understand traditional programming languages. The modular software utilizes the latest computer technology to offer superior control of all machine functions, according to the company. Unison's software can import .DXF files from CAD Software.
Related Glossary Terms
- centerless grinding
centerless grinding
Grinding operation in which the workpiece rests on a knife-edge support, rotates through contact with a regulating or feed wheel and is ground by a grinding wheel. This method allows grinding long, thin parts without steady rests; also lessens taper problems. Opposite of cylindrical grinding. See cylindrical grinding; grinding.
- computer numerical control ( CNC)
computer numerical control ( CNC)
Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.
- computer-aided design ( CAD)
computer-aided design ( CAD)
Product-design functions performed with the help of computers and special software.
- feed
feed
Rate of change of position of the tool as a whole, relative to the workpiece while cutting.
- flat ( screw flat)
flat ( screw flat)
Flat surface machined into the shank of a cutting tool for enhanced holding of the tool.
- grinding
grinding
Machining operation in which material is removed from the workpiece by a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry, etc. Takes various forms: surface grinding (creates flat and/or squared surfaces); cylindrical grinding (for external cylindrical and tapered shapes, fillets, undercuts, etc.); centerless grinding; chamfering; thread and form grinding; tool and cutter grinding; offhand grinding; lapping and polishing (grinding with extremely fine grits to create ultrasmooth surfaces); honing; and disc grinding.
