Filter by Process Zone:
Expand Machining Capability with Updated Tool-Manufacturing Software
In addition to a user-friendly design wizard, ANCA’s ToolRoom enables cutting tool manufacturers to expand into new markets with barrel shape ballnose (BSB) and large-radii double corner radius (DCR) endmill tool types that increase productivity.
Grinder Enables Lights-Out Production of Extremely Tight-Tolerance Machining Tools
Vollmer’s 5-axis VGrind 340S machines carbide drills and milling cutters with diameters from 0.3 mm to 12.7 mm, sizes increasingly in demand in the automotive, electronics and medical sectors. Automation options enable unattended production around the clock.
Add the Latest Controls to Older-Model Grinding Machines
Owners who rebuild their Walter Helitronic Power machine can get the same speed, functionality, and ease of use as new models without the expense of buying a new machine with standard automation features.
Cylindrical Grinders For Precise Packaging Components
United Grinding’s Studer S41 (universal) and S131R (radius internal) are designed to produce large, heavy canning and die-forming components from the extremely hard metals commonly used in the packaging industry.
Updated 5-Axis Tool Grinder
Star Cutter’s NXT runs the latest NUM tool-grinding software, provides automated marking, accommodates denser pallet arrays, and produces multiple profiles for tools up to 10 inches in diameter in a single run.
Heavy-Duty Bench Grinders
Palmgren claims its line of heavy-duty bench grinders provides four to seven times longer duty cycle under load and eight times less speed degradation than competing products. Wheel diameters: 6 to 12 inches.
Thread Grinder Produces Workpieces More Than 6 Feet Long
Automatic phase, notch-position and effective-diameter adjusters along with automatic wheel in-feed position adjustment ensure Mitsui Seiki’s GSH 200A thread grinder delivers consistently repeatable precision.
High-Speed, High-Precision Surface Grinder
Featuring a longitudinal feed rate of 975 inches/minute and vertical feed of 17 inches/minute, Kaast’s F-Grind AH Series is equally capable of achieving a high-quality surface finish or critical dimensions on cutting and threading tools, punches and gauges.
Form Grinding Ball Valves Raises Output and Reduces Cost
Glebar’s PG-9DHD centerless form grinder accepts a 10-inch-wide work wheel to produce multiple parts per cycle in a single infeed motion. It shapes spherical and cylindrical components 0.050 to 4 inches in diameter.
Perform Two Gear-Machining Processes in One Clamping
Both a grinding and a turning machine, EMAG’s VLC 350 GT speeds transmission component production by enabling multiple machining processes of chucked parts in a single clamping operation.
Rotary Table Surface Grinder Cuts Replacement Tooling Costs Almost in Half
Get more life out of virtually any brand of tooling for turret presses, ironworkers, and rooftop punches as well as progressive and other dies with DCM Tech’s turnkey punch and die grinder (PDG) with 18-inch rotary table.
Grinding Method Eliminates Need for Multiple Machine Tools
Almost any operation that requires a combination of high accuracy and high force can be improved with the Eccentric Positioning System (EPS) from Coventry Associates. The grinder uses three circular rotary tables on top of each other instead of linear slide systems.
