The new GCX Linear builds on the best aspects of ANCAs proven technology to offer a purpose-built solution for manufacturing and sharpening skiving cutters. With a 5-axis CNC grinder powered by LinX linear motor technology on X, Y and Z axes, the GCX Linear also comes with features specially designed for skiving cutters and shaper cutters.

The new Star NXT linear CNC tool and cutter grinding machine sharpens both straight and spiral gash hob designs up to 8” OD x 10” OAL.

The GrindSmart 830XW from Rollomatic integrates the innovative combination of hydrostatic technology and linear motors to produce both large and small tools from 1 mm to 32 mm diameter and flute lengths of up to 200 mm.

The Mitsui Seiki J350G jig grinder offers a combination of application flexibility, accuracy and operator-friendly operation. The machine provides a very large grinding infeed stroke, with a U-axis range of -3mm to +50mm relative to the spindle center. This provides the flexibility to grind small- and large-diameter holes, as well as multiple features, using a single wheel in a continuous, automatic mode.

To ensure manufacturers can obtain the most productive machine for their particular part-production applications, United Grinding offers a full 360-degree range of Studer internal cylindrical grinding machines. This extensive portfolio of machines includes several universal-type models, as well as those designed for high production and for radii grinding operations.

Delivering high quality productivity grinding solutions, the heavy-duty bench grinder with dust collector is part of Palmgren’s POWERGRIND-XP next generation of bench grinders.

From 3D simulation software to LaserPlus, an in-process measurement system, to RoboTeach, which makes robotic loaders accessible and easy to program – ANCA has been building a toolbox of technology for our customers to reap the benefits of automation and Industry 4.0.

For customers that require increased flexibility or more spindle power, or the increased automation capacity that a robot can provide, the FX7 Linear from ANCA offers these. The FX7 Linear offers a wide range of options for those looking to increase productivity and accuracy. Available as an option is the AR300 robot loader to increase efficiency by automating repetitive manual tasks.

Based on a highly efficient and productive two-in-one concept, Walter Helitronic Vision Diamond 400 L, Helitronic Power Diamond 400 and Helitronic Diamond Evolution tool grinding machines, from United Grinding North America Inc., integrate both eroding and/or grinding capabilities into single grinding machine platforms. From a production standpoint, the two-in-one concept lets users completely erode tools (PCD) and completely grind tools (carbide) using the same machine to eliminate the time-consuming task of moving workpieces to a second machine.
