RK International Machine Tools offers Perfect surface grinder range
1 min read
RK International Machine Tools now offers the Perfect range of surface grinders, with its initial focus on the X-series of grinders, which is headed by the flagship Perfect X25 PLC-controlled surface grinder.
With a 250 by 500 mm table and 500 mm clearance between the spindle centreline and table top, this machine will appeal to many subcontractors and toolroom customers, says the company.
The X25 has been designed with the operator in mind and features a touch-screen interface that simplifies machine operation, with the PLC language and all programs and functions, such as the surface, criss-cross, plunge, and pitch grinding routines, designed in-house by Perfect. Machine axial movement is manually controlled using a joystick when required and this is overseen by foolproof PLC-controlled safeguards. All of which help to reduce the skill levels required to produce high quality components.
As standard, the machine is equipped with a 3 hp/3,500 rpm CP4 high precision spindle, with pre-stressed adjustment, capable of accepting wheels up to 200 mm diameter. Automatic table top wheel dressing and compensation are also fitted as standard, with customers having the option to specify an overhead dressing system if they prefer.
Across the whole Perfect range, table sizes range from 150 by 450 mm to 1600 by 6,000 mm, in saddle, column, cantilever, double-column type and CNC configurations.
Says Simon Rood, sales manager, RK International Machine Tools: "The addition of the Perfect range to the RK International Machine Tools portfolio reinforces our commitment to providing the widest selection of grinding technology to our customers. The high quality of the Perfect range complements the other grinding systems that we support and will provide customers with a comprehensive choice when it comes to precision grinding."
