Supertec Machinery announces the expansion of its ID Grinder Line with the introduction of the new ID-300CNC and ID-300NC ID Grinders.
The ID-300CNC allows for a maximum grinding depth of 7.8" and a part swing of 15.75" with a grinding capacity of .08" to 12". The FANUC Oi-TD control drives and servo motors coupled with special grinding software allows for up to 8 different face grinding applications in a single setup. Additional canned cycle software for ID, End Face, and Taper Grinding reportedly simplify programming of complex parts.
Uniaxial movement of X and Z axes avoids deviation caused by the vibration of cross stacking movement, insuring machine's stability and precision during the grinding process. With a workhead manual swivel capacity of +30 degrees and -5 degrees on the ID-300CNC complex taper grinding is made simple.
An optional manual face grinding attachment is available to simplify the final step of grinding the face of the part. Supertec also offers the ID grinder in a 2 axis automatic version with a conversational shop floor language that is easy to learn and easy to program.
