6-Axis GrindSmart 660XW Tool and Peel Grinding Machine
Description
The 6-Axis GrindSmart 660XW Tool and Peel Grinding Machine allows the user to utilize cost‐effective and advanced lean manufacturing principles. The machine includes a 6‐position wheel changer and linear motors on all axes.
The hybrid model for combination grinding of tool geometries as well as peel grinding for neck, plunge, and other blank prep operations features a traveling high-speed workhead. Peel grinding for blank preparation and neck grinding are included in the same chucking.
Blank preparation for common‐shank rotary cutting tools, neck grinding for long‐reach mold & die endmills, and plunge grinding operations can be performed. This machine includes an innovative steady rest systems designed for grinding endmills as well as for drill point grinding. The grinding spindle is synchronous and rated 20 hp. The thermal stability is exceptionally good due to an innovative 6‐axis design and double‐skin coolant enclosure. Field tests have demonstrated a high Cpk process capability index for any tool grinding machine.
