A machine dedicated to making a single part with the following dimensions:
PG
MASS PRODUCTION GRINDING MACHINE
The PG is a machine for standardized parts in mass production.
Due to the tremendous stiffness of the machine structure, you can use bigger grinding wheels (up to Ø36" — Ø915 mm —) to get higher efficiency.

Technology
When we talk about high production, every detail matters
Machine structure
- Unique and rigid structure
- Made of stress-relieved pearlitic cast iron for optimum grinding accuracy
- Coolant channels for thermal stability
- Proven behaviour against vibration and thermal effects
X and Z axes
- Hydrostatic V and flat slideways
- The slide is driven by a ballscrew with direct coupling to a CNC controlled servomotor
- A high resolution absolute linear scale controls the positioning
Workhead & tailstock
- Rigid castings, made in modular designs with selected materials for stable temperature performance
- Compressed air lifting systems for comfortable set-ups, and easy repositioning of the tailstock along the table
Grinding spindle heads
- Mounted on proven ultra precision bearings (hydrostatic optionally) with lifetime grease lubrication
- Driven by built-in electro-spindles
Swivelling B Axis
Automatic swivelling, driven through a torque motor, and controlled by high resolution rotary encoder.
It can position in any angle, with a mechanical locking and pneumatic unlocking system.
