Holroyd CS700E aimed at grinding helical cutting tools up to 700 mm diameter

Holroyd has introduced a large diameter CNC cutter grinding machine called the CS700E Tool Management Centre, which has been designed for the grinding of precision profile forms on finish milling cutters of up to 700 mm in diameter.

The CS700E incorporates automatic dressing stations to ensure optimum integrity of the grinding wheel at all times. These stations are equipped to dress aluminium oxide, CBN and diamond grinding wheels, while use of HSK-A160 arbors enables rapid wheel changeover times and further enhance accuracy.

At the heart of the machine is Holroyd’s touch-screen programming system, which provides the capability to perform on-screen modification of profile forms for the rapid evaluation of new profile shapes during development and prototyping stages. Profile modifications are made easily, thanks to the menu-driven system.

Cutters with up to 29 blades can be sharpened on the CS700E, while the maximum profile height is 120 mm.
