Smart Autonomous Grinding

The GrindSmart®660XW has been designed for rotary cutting tool applications ranging from diameter 0.1 to 12.7mm in an amazingly compact layout which includes a large capacity tool loader and a high-speed wheel changer with 6 wheel-pack positions. The machine features the latest linear and torque motor technology on each axis, as well as a 14kW synchronous spindle motor. All these components are cooled with the same coolant oil providing a perfect thermal stability, unbeatable accuracy in production as well as extremely good surface finish on the tools.

The 6-axis precision tool grinder GrindSmart®630XW has been designed for high performance and specialty tool manufacturing for both long and short batches. It is equipped with linear motors, combined with the torque motor on the rotary axis, provides more benefits such as enhanced surface finish and reduced maintenance costs. The oil used for cooling and lubricating the linear motors is the same as the coolant oil. This ensures consistent thermal stability during setup and production without incurring additional energy consumption.

The 6-axis precision tool grinder GrindSmart®630XW3 has been designed for high performance and specialty tool manufacturing for both long and short batches. the productivity of this machine is higher thanks to simultaneous changing of the wheel & nozzle packs during the tool loading/unloading cycle and with the capacity to hold up to 16 wheel packs. It is equipped with linear motors, combined with the torque motor on the rotary axis, provides more benefits such as enhanced surface finish and reduced maintenance costs. The oil used for cooling and lubricating the linear motors is the same as the coolant oil. This ensures consistent thermal stability during setup and production without incurring additional energy consumption.

The 5-axis precision tool grinder GrindSmart®530XW has been designed for manufacturing high performance rotary cutting tools in both long and short batches covering a wide range of diameter from Ø. 0.1 to 20.0 mm (.004″ – .75″).  The 530XW has a 6 (six) position wheel changer as a standard feature.

The oil used for cooling and lubricating the linear motors is the same as the coolant oil. This ensures consistent thermal stability during setup and production without incurring additional energy consumption.

Equipped with linear motors, the new generation of GrindSmart®530XF has been designed for the production of ultra-long drills ranging from Ø 0.3 mm up to 8.0
mm (.012″ – 0.3″) with the ability to reach diameter and length ratios beyond 200xD. A special feature of this model is the motorized workhead axis which
combines with the X and Z-axis for grinding long flute and relief grinding. The machine control ensures that the grinding wheel remains on top of the steady
rests during fluting and clearance grinding, thus allowing extreme cutting lengths up to 280 mm (11″) as well as small diameter tools to be ground.

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.

The high precision 6-axis grinding center GrindSmart®Nano6 has been designed for the production of high performance micro-tools made of carbide or HSS with a diameter range between Ø 0.03 – 2.0 mm (.001″– .080″). Thanks to its innovative hydrostatic technology, this extremely compact machine offers superior performance for manufacturing of high precision micro-tools.

The 5-axis grinding center, GrindSmart®Nano5, has been designed to manufacture medical, dental and industrial cutting tools with diameters as large as 6.35 mm (.25″) in HSS, stainless steel or carbide material.

The ShapeSmart®NP50 is a 5-axis Precision Cylindrical Pinch/Peel grinding machine with integrated 3-axis robot loader and grinding diameter range from 0.025 – 25 mm (.001″– 1″). The ShapeSmart®NP50 is ideal for cutting tool blank preparation as well as punch and mold applications requiring complex geometry and high length-to-diameter ratios.

The ShapeSmart®NP30 is designed for tool manufacturers who are looking for a machine with the best value for quality, reliability, price and performance. With 4 CNC axes and based on the method of peel grinding with simultaneous engagement of a roughing and a finishing wheel, the ShapeSmart®NP30 is a precision pinch and peel grinding machine for the preparation of cutting tool blanks such as endmills, drills and other stepped cylindrical tools, covering a range of diameters between Ø 0.025 and Ø 25.0 mm.

The RPG II is a hydraulically-operated Precision Plunge Grinding Machine with a magazine-type loader. Ideally suited for high performance cylindrical infeed grinding of cutting tool blanks such as drills, form tools, reamers, endmills, as well as precision punches and micro pins. The RPG II is designed for high repeatability and reliability to unattended production of tight-tolerance parts, with maximum uptime.

The NanoGrind™ 4000XD is the only machine specifically designed for the mass production of micro-drills. Due to its productivity and precision, this machine has become a benchmark in the semiconductor, printed-circuit board, watch making and jewelry industry where micro-drills with the highest quality are required. The NanoGrind™ 4000XD is a 4-station CNC rotary transfer tool grinding machine for high volume production of micro drills in carbide and HSS, based on a revolving table with 4 workheads. Three of the 4 bays are for grinding, and the 4th bay is for loading/unloading.
