Dynamic spindle head taper grinder for CNC machines

The grinding angle is set automatically, which means that high repeatability is guaranteed. In doing so, the device relies on an optical position encoder with a repeatability of 0.001. The device is controlled via a HumanMachine Interface (HMI) display and the processing is handled by aProgrammable Logic Controller(PLC). Adjustments can be made to the stroke length during grinding, to the various feed speeds and rotational speeds and, if necessary, to the micro-adjustments of the grinding angle.

The operator is able to use the device independently after a relatively short training period. CNC machine cone geometry repair can be carried out in a very short time, usually within one eight-hour working day, which means huge savings for the machine owner.

The machine can be used to grind vertical and horizontal machining centres with all standard tapers such as SK40, SK50, BT40, BT50.
