- Simple auto-mode programming with Siemens PLC and touchscreen
- Comprehensive standard equipment package
Product details- Cast-iron machine frame providing rigidity, torsional strength and stable machining results
- Centralized lubrication for all guideways to ensure reliable, continuous operation
- Work area protected by an easily accessible enclosure for safe loading and maintenance
- Powerful coolant pump combined with vacuum extraction to remove grinding dust and aerosols
Grinding spindle- Large, dynamically balanced spindle, fully sealed and permanently lubricated
- Preloaded precision bearings for sustained grinding performance and long service life
Programming- Preloaded ball screw and powerful servo on the Y-axis for high repeatability
- Electronic handwheel for setup and manual spindle positioning
- Auto mode: user-defined roughing/finishing parameters, spark-out strokes and automatic return to zero
Hydraulics- Quiet operation with low heat build-up for stable results in continuous production
- Hydraulically driven longitudinal table movement, infinitely variable with soft reversal
- External hydraulic unit with oil cooler for temperature stability
Magnetic clamping plate- Large magnetic chuck included as standard for distortion-free clamping
