A machine dedicated to making a single part with the following dimensions:
PG
MASS PRODUCTION GRINDING MACHINE
The PG is a machine for standardised parts in mass production.
Due to the tremendous stiffness of the machine structure, you can use bigger grinding wheels (up to 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.
