Grinding Machines

Once again, ANCA says it is launching new technology to bring tremendous benefits to its customers with the LaserPlus system on their EDGe machine. The EDGe is used to erode PCD cutting tools, which in turn are widely used in aerospace, automotive, electronics and wood industries.

When manufacturing small components with a diameter of between 2 and 20 mm, the GRINDSTAR grinding machine from JUNKER offers an economical alternative to turning. From batch sizes of 200,000, short cycle times and a long workpiece service life can drive down costs per workpiece by up to 25 percent.

All Haas Multigrind grinding centers are available with an automatic wheel changer. This feature enables Haas customers to combine multiple, high-precision, complex grinding and milling operations into a single part clamping and single machine cycle.

Marposs has announced the availability of its Marposs/Dittel M7002/MA7002 next-generation, dual-plane balancing systems for high precision grinding machines. Relying upon a new deterministic balancing algorithm and specially designed balancing head, these new units deliver an improved balancing process with significant cycle time reduction, according to the company.

The Eldorado KM75-48 is a 3-axis gundrilling machine used to manufacture products like transmission shafts, manifolds and mold matrices. The machine includes updated Beckhoff controls with G-code programming, which provides enhanced flexibility.

ANCA’s new Management Suite provides customers the technology to monitor the performance of their machines remotely and enables companies to run smart factories by providing live production information to make data-based decisions for operational improvements. Management Suite monitors machine and production in real time and delivers up-to-date information, enhancing visibility and control in manufacturing operations, reduces costly machine down-time by immediately notifying when a machine has ceased production, with reasons for the stoppage via an email or SMS to the relevant personnel.

The two-speed combination belt and disc finishing machines from Palmgren can handle nearly every finishing operation. Equipped with value-added features, these machines reportedly deliver superior performance with serious results.

Highly polished flutes and gash surfaces improve chip evacuation and aid tool performance. The smoother surface enables swarf (or chips) to exit more freely, preventing chip packing and material build up during machining. ANCA has addressed this goal with innovations reportedly found only at the ANCA Group.

The Ecotech Machinery is a single-source of the following top-quality products: CNC cylindrical grinders, CNC Roll grinders, CNC vertical rotary grinders, CNC crankshaft grinder and special customer-built grinders. Ecotech grinders feature a heavy base design and hydrodynamic wheel spindle, which are reportedly essential to the Ecotech grinders ability to accurately machine larger parts.

GCH Machinery says it has both the machine tool remanufacturing experience and know-how to take your older machine and restore it to the original OEM specifications (and beyond) using the most modern mechanical and electronic technology available. The result is a high-precision machine or grinding cell that has been remanufactured to your exact requirements, fully supported by GCH Machinery's technical staff.
