Supertec Machinery (Paramount CA) is proud to introduce the Supra series CNC Cylindrical Grinders to the North American market. With both Plunge and Anglehead designs available they offer a work envelope of 10” swing x 20”, 30” or 40” between centers.
The Supra Series is an affordable alternative for applications of smaller diameter, long thin parts. The standard iGrind conversational software is ideal for improving programming and set-up times and is easy to learn for first time operators.
The iGrind conversational software is offered on both Mitsubishi and FANUC controls. An optional Babbit bearing wheelhead spindle allows for easy grinding and maximum finishes of hard materials such as carbide or ceramics. The table is fully supported on both ends for Improved accuracy and repeatability.
Related Glossary Terms
- centers
centers
Cone-shaped pins that support a workpiece by one or two ends during machining. The centers fit into holes drilled in the workpiece ends. Centers that turn with the workpiece are called “live” centers; those that do not are called “dead” centers.
- ceramics
ceramics
Cutting tool materials based on aluminum oxide and silicon nitride. Ceramic tools can withstand higher cutting speeds than cemented carbide tools when machining hardened steels, cast irons and high-temperature alloys.
- 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.
- 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.
- work envelope
work envelope
Cube, sphere, cylinder or other physical space within which the cutting tool is capable of reaching.
