MACHINE CONSTRUCTION

Spindle
High rigidity wheel spindle rotates in grease packed precision class 7 angular contact ball bearings. The cartridge spindle is interchangeable for easy maintenance and replacement. Spindle, couplings and class V3 7 ½ spindle motor are precisely balanced for low vibration and powerful output to achieve grinding accuracy and superb finishes

Vertical Movement (Y Axis)
Massive one-piece cast column is heavily ribbed for rigidity. Wheelhead travels on the high precision linear slideways by precision ballscrew and AC servomotor drive from the column top, thus ensures high accuracy downfeed. Manual control of the Y axis by conveniently situated MPG.

Cross Movement (Z Axis)
High grade Meehanite cast iron is used for bed, saddle and major units. All castings are heat tempered and stress relieved during manufacturing process to assure stability of the machine structure and resist deflection under load. Saddle operates on hydrostatic, precisely hand scraped, and Turcite coated double vee slideways by precisions ballscrew.

Table Movement (X Axis)
Hydraulically powered table traverse operating on hydrostatic, precisely had scraped, and Turcite coated double vee slideways, which maintains a perfect fit for the life of your grinder. This is important in shoulder and slot grinding. The proximity switches operated reverse dogs are properly covered for operator’s safety and easily set suitable table stroke to obtain the highest grinding efficiency. Table speed is infinitely variable.

Hydraulic Power Pack
Hydraulic Power Pack with cooling fan unts ensures accuracy and the smoothest movement of the table, and avoids possible deflection from heat.

Auto Lubrication System
The lubrication system continuously supplies re-circulated filtered lube oil to all slideways to prolong machines’ life and provide smooth movement for accurate performance, low friction and stick-slip free.
