CUSTOMER BENEFITS

The VM 110 has the smallest footprint and is perfectly suited for medium sized work pieces in small or high volume production.

High overall equipment efficiency and low total cost of ownership

• Reduced overheads by:

• Specially designed and innovative solutions for automatic loading/unloading

• Pre-process, in-process and post-process measuring systems

• Increased precision – Multiple ID/OD grinding operations in a single clamping

• Reduced setup time – Optimum ergonomics and dedicated software allow easy setup and tool changes

• Reduced overall cycle time – Combined and simultaneous ID / OD grinding

• Reduced scrap – Outstanding thermal stability resulting in low dispersion and highest repeatability

• Increased availability – Minimum maintenance and reliable components drastically reduce down time loss

EQUIPMENT

• Four position NC indexing spindle turret (for maximum flexibility) or single spindle stock with two parallel spindels (for highest throughput) permits multiple ID / OD grinding operations with different grinding wheels on the same work piece

• High precision X- and Z-axis

• Manual or numerical controlled B-axis for angular swivel of the workhead for taper grinding

• Work head available for either chuck workholding or with devices for centerless grinding

• Various dressing tools for conventional and CBN grinding wheels
