GrindSmart®830XW

Description

The GrindSmart®830XW integrates the innovative combination of hydrostatic technology and linear motors to produce large and small series with 6 axes interpolated simultaneously. This concept provides an exceptionally high degree of rigidity and dampens vibrations that naturally occur during grinding, thereby increasing the life of the grinding wheels and guaranteeing surface finishes and sharp cutting edges that give users a real competitive advantage. Unattended production is an additional process that has been integrated into this machine to allow long-term manufacturing without human intervention.

Smart Autonomous Grinding

Our vision of “Smart Autonomous Grinding” is to provide Rollomatic machine users with a fully autonomous machine capable of managing the production by itself with very little human intervention. A part of this ambitious project is the ability of the machine to manage the offsets to get the first parts within specification. Further items include to be able to achieve unattended production over several days within very tight tolerances an to interact with external robotic and automation systems. The Smart Autonomous Grinding program also includes machine connectivity and communication exchange systems with other equipment such as measuring machines, laser etching, etc.

Smart Setup Assistant

The Smart Setup Assistant Function was developed with the aim of achieving the
first ground tool within the tolerances. The program generates a grinding path for each operation to be performed on the blank. These grinding operations are
carried out and then measured by the touch probe measuring system, which
defines the grinding wheel corrections before the first tool is made. The blank is then ground to the geometry programmed by the operator, taking into account the corrections required to ensure production according to specifications from the first tool.

In-process Measurement

The in-process measurement function ensures that the tool remains within the
defined tolerances throughout the production process. To achieve this, several
measurements are made periodically by the touch or laser measurement system
to apply the necessary corrections, thus ensuring reliable and unattended
production over an extended time.

Advantages

  • 6-axis kinematics offers extreme freedom of movement during machining with the possibility of tilting the grinding wheel to suit the operation. The 6th axis allows radii to be obtained with a form accuracy within very tight tolerances thanks to being able to maintain a constant grinding point.
  • Hydrostatic system offers very high damping effect which leads to better surface finishes and extended grinding wheel life. Machine performance will never deteriorate over time and the maintenance costs on mechanical parts are reduced.
  • 15‐station wheel and nozzle changer with 5 seconds arbor‐to‐arbor is the world’s fastest in the grinding industry.
  • In-process mesurement to ensure that the tool geometry specifications are met trough the entire production process.
  • Precision and size constancy in production of 0.01mm.
  • Radius shape accuracy below 0.0005mm.

Smart Features

SMART TOOL LOADER

The high-speed tool loader, designed by Rollomatic and integrated into the basic machine, was developed with fast setup and ease-of-use in mind. This is
achieved by using pre-calibrated cassettes and clamps to hold different
diameters without resetting the position. Rollomatic automatic loaders are known to be the fastest and most reliable in our industry.

• Fast to set up
• Capacity up to 4’500 parts (10 cassettes)
• Robust, low maintenance design

SMART CHANGER

Smart Changer is an ultra-fast automatic grinding wheel and nozzle changer that offers exceptional flexibility for the production of all types of tools. The wheel changer can operate simultaneously with the tool loader, which substantially reduces cycle times.

• Increased flexibility
• 15-wheel pack capacity
• Ultra-precise wheel pack change, less than 0.002 mm
• Extended production autonomy

SMART SHANK GUIDE

The Smart Shank Guide is a tool shank guiding system that guarantees
concentricity down to a few microns at each clamping. It saves time and boosts
productivity, as it is no longer necessary to probe for runout during setup.

• Exceptional concentricity accuracy, less than 0.002 mm at each clamping
• Quick and easy to set up
• Increased productivity

SMART STEADYREST

The Smart Steady Rest is a high precision steady rest for drills and other long tool blank. It provides stability in the grinding process and allows for faster feedrates. This ensures repetitive quality of the tool throughout the production process.

• Quick and easy to set up
• Highly accurate adjustment system in 3 planes
• Consistent production quality

SMART TOUCH PROBE

The Smart Touch Probe is a contact measurement system that allows the blank
position to be defined before grinding and avoids variations during production.

The system also compensates for machine thermal drift caused by changes in
ambient temperature and for wheel wear.

• Runout compensation and core diameter measurement
• Setting assistance
• Superior stability during the production process
• Elimination of scrap during unattended production

STICKSMART®

The StickSmart® is an automatic sticking system for in-process cleaning of
grinding wheels. The «stick», mounted in a holder, is used to regenerate superabrasive grinding wheels to maintain their cutting performance.

• Extends the working life of the wheel
• Extends unattended production cycles with high-performance wheels
• Reliable and safe automatic process for the operator
• Efficient, economical and safe solution

SMART IN PROCESS WHEEL DRESSER

Smart in process Wheel Dresser is a self-retracting rotary dressing unit driven by a servo motor with a speed of up to 3,000 rpm. This feature optimizes the service life of the grinding wheels. The maximum dressing wheel diameter is 125 mm for peripheral dressing of diamond and CBN wheels.

•Extended wheel life
•Optimization of production without interruption
•Constant maintenance of the wheel profile

SMART LASER MEASUREMENT

The Smart Laser Measurement is a laser measurement unit for in-process
inspection and automatic compensation. This contactless tool measurement
option enables reliable, unattended production within tight tolerances, increased productivity, elimination of scrap and cutting-edge damages.

• Wide range of measurable diameters from 1.0 mm to 32.0 mm
• No need for manual tool measurement during production
• Automatic compensation for tool diameter variations
• Superior stability during the production process
• Elimination of scrap during unattended production

SMARTCHUCK

The SmartChuck is a high-precision, self-centering multi-jaw clamping system
that automatically adapts to different diameters without the need for adjustment.

The SmartChuck can be used in conjunction with the automatic runout
compensation feature included in the VirtualGrind®Pro programming software to
ensure optimum concentricity.

• Clamping range from diameters of 10.0 mm to 25.0 mm
• Clamping concentricity less than 5 micron
• Easy-to-change production diameters, and quick and simple adjustment
