ANCA's TX7+Xchanger can grind, mill and drill

The TX7+Xchanger unveiled this month at Chicago's IMTS exhibition incorporates an ANCA TX7+ universal grinder with a wheel pack exchanging system and magazine. The magazine holds 16 wheel packs instead of the customary two found on most CNC grinders, which means the operator now has up to 64 wheels from which to select. To further increase the flexibility of the TX7+Xchanger, ANCA also built in milling capability. Tools such as drills and endmills are driven by the spindle using standard Big Plus wheel arbours. As the milling tools are also stored in the magazine and therefore also changed automatically, features such as holes, keyways and dovetails can be produced on the TX7+Xchanger.
