Aries NGP Tool Grinder

May 17, 2016

The latest addition to the extensive machine offering from Schneeberger, the new Aries NGP answers to the need for an affordable tool grinder with all the power of a big machine. Aries NGP offers almost 10-hp, duty-rated power with a direct-drive, double-ended spindle and the accuracy of HSK 50 wheel arbor interface.

The machine has been designed to fit even in the smallest space, barely 3' wide and just over 5' deep, the machine offers a 10”x10” work envelope, integrated coolant and is powered by Schneeberger Quinto Qg1 software, a CAD tool programing software that creates tool programs in seconds. All this made possible by the reliability and accuracy of the FANUC 31 series control.

    computer-aided design ( CAD)

    Product-design functions performed with the help of computers and special software.

  • coolant

    coolant

    Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.

  • work envelope

    work envelope

    Cube, sphere, cylinder or other physical space within which the cutting tool is capable of reaching.
