Tool grinding technologies inc suppliesoffers genius, a new generation 6-axis cnc tool grinder from tgt inc. Some of the constructional features of this tool grinder include: this compact machine has configuration for 6 cnc axis. Base, column made of cost iron provides good vibration dampening. Workhead is placed on c-axis [tool swivel] enabling precision tools and high accuracy ball nose end mills. Quick change draw-in type collet system from nann germany is provided for run out repeatability of 0.005 mm at 50 mm, twin grinding spindles can accommodate maximum 8 grinding wheels [4/spindle]. Some technical configurations of these grinder include:: work piece range - diameter f 1 mm to f300 mm; maximum tool length - 350 mm from iso gauge plane; maximum flute grinding length - 270 mm at 30 degree helix; machine data - grinding spindle - integral water cooled motor of 9/11.5 kw, from 3000-10000 rpm, s1/s6 duty cycle; maximum number of grinding wheels - 8.Some of the additional features of this grinder include: other features: finite element analysis [fea] for estimation of structural rigidity; programmable steady rest for small diameter tools manufacturing; patented spherogrind technology for high accuracy ball nose grinding; high productivity - reduced cycle time due to 2 spindles and optimised strokes; complete tool manufacturing in one setup; gun drill resharpening - hollow clamping arrangement to facilitate gun drill holding; optional menu driven software with a facility to define point with 5 different clearances; possibility to grind even the twin lip gun drills; long tools manufacturing and resharpening - innovative steady rest with micro adjustment facility; and 3d simulation - optional 3d interface provision with vericut/system v software. This provision helps in tool design and reduces trial time on the machine.
