Tool grinder is fast; flexible

The MX7 provides the best of both worlds –flexibility and quick changeovers, to accommodate smaller batch sizes, yet high output for production houses, it is claimed. The MX7's permanent-magnet spindle produces superior performance across the entire spindle working range; it operates to a maximum of 10,000 rpm, with a spindle power rating of 20kW/27Hp (S1). Further aiding precision, due to a lower current draw, less heat is generated and, therefore, less system expansion takes place. Although applicable to a range of materials, the MX7's higher torque at lower RPM characteristics are particularly suited to efficient carbide grinding. The machine features a Wheel Pack Changer, offering a speedy 10-second wheel change time and 6 HSK wheel packs. MX7 productivity can be further enhanced through the use of the MLX Loader.
