Highlights

Quality is an investment when you grind high-value parts

Thanks to all these details, the WT can machine workpieces up to 10 m long, 1900 mm in diameter and 15 tn in weight.

  • With the best working conditions
  • With the greatest process stability
  • With the total absence of vibrations
  • With better workpiece surface

 

Thanks to its optimised design, we reduce wear on key components.

WT
Highlights

Faithfull to the cross slide classic concept, yet guaranteeing top results

We have managed to maintain the classic advantages of cross slide machines, without sacrificing quality, thanks to the attention to every design detail:

  • Minimised footprint
  • Stationary parts (no unnecessary movements)
WT
Highlights

Efficiency starts before the part is even put on the machine

The WT is very easy to operate and to change references, saving time and minimising human error:

  • Self-calibrating gauge
  • Mobile tailstock
  • Quick connection outlets
  • Intuitive software and large screen
  • Ergonomics: Integrated platforms for operator safety and good access to the work area
WT
Highlights

Highlights
MDM: Automatic in- and post-process gauge

Prior to machining

  • Measures the oversized material on the part to ensure it is machinable

  • Ensures that the part was assembled properly and the machining program is free of dimensional errors

The data it outputs

  • Automatic metrological reports with dimensional and geometrical measurements
  • Roundness, radial run-out, cylindricity, concentricity, coaxility, diameters, discontinuous diameters etc.
  • Scanning for slender parts and back-and-forth machining 

How the data is displayed

  • You will be able to evaluate the behavior of the process thanks to continuous 3D visualizations
WT
01

Measures and certifies in/post-process, saving machining time and avoiding scrap

02

Dimensional tolerances are guaranteed from the first part in IT3 up to diameter 80 mm and IT2 from 80 mm onwards

03

Fully integrated into DoGrind+ for easy operation and handling of the meter

Technology
For heavy duty grinding, every detail matters
Grinding spindle heads

Mounted on proven ultra precision bearings, grease packed for life, and pre-load calculated for the maximum running accuracy and optimum stiffness under the heaviest operating conditions.

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 moving slides with ground and hand-scraped V and flat guideways, including antifriction coating to improve thermal stability and eliminate stick-slip effects
  • Straightness of 0,002 mm over 1000 mm of length
Workhead & tailstocks
  • Designed with selected materials to optimise temperature control and spindle performance
  • High roundness accuracy
  • Easy to connect with different clamping and driving systems
  • Pneumatic lifting systems for comfortable set-ups
Swivelling B axis
  • Automatic swivel, with torque motor to eliminate backlash and minimise maintenance
  • Mechanical locking and pneumatic unlocking system
  • Repeatiblity: ±1 µm on 650 mm radius
