Tool grinder is fast; flexible

  • Tool grinder is fast; flexible
The ANCA MX7 Grinder can manufacture a variety of tools up to 16 mm in diameter.

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.
