Wheel-Head slides driven by core-less cog-free linear-servomotor. There is no physical connection between the slide base and slide saddle - no ball - screw. This means no back - lash compensation and no ball-screw related maintenance problems, ever.
Wheel-Head slide supported on rolling element linear bearings. These result in highly responsive and backlash free movement.
Linear scales for position feedback on both axis provide actual position feedback and not interpolated position feedback. This results in much higher reliability and operational accuracy. X-axis (radial feed) resolution is 0.5µ (0.0005mm). Z-axis (axial feed) resolution is 5µ (optional 1 micron). Both feedback scales are distance-coded (semi-absolute).
Grinding wheel shaft and work-head shafts supported on super precision angular contact bearings. These are packed with long life grease for maintenance free operation through out the bearing life.
Our proprietary EazyGrind query based component profile / data entry eliminates ISO programming by operator. The operator is led through a step-by-step building of the component profile/parameters via a query based data entry. The operator simply provides the necessary numeric values. During data entry EazyGrind recommends the optimum speeds/feds based on the component dimensions. Operator has freedom to decide the most desirable feed/speed within a specified range; thus, eliminating sub- optimal machine utilization and guestimate bases speed/feed values. Following this data entry session EazyGrind generates the grinding program, stores it and is ready for execution automatically. Dressing and dressing compensation are also part of the same query based data entry. Programming in G-code is, of course, possible
Work-Head (Spindle) drive is by AC variable frequency drive; the drive is controlled by the CNC controller. Tails-stock is spring loaded and retracted by pneumatic cylinder. Hydrauically operted tail-stock is also offered.
Single point diamond dresser is mounted on the Tail-stock or on the work-table. Rotary (cup-wheel type) dresser driven by a servo motoris optional. Diamond-roller-dresser for wheel profiling is also available. Besides programmable 'dressing frequency', 'on-demand-dressing' is also standard within EazyGrind.
