A key factor in the design of these cylindrical machines was the ongoing need for high geometric accuracy with quick changeovers between different grinding operations to maximise machine usage.
Available in three grinding length capacities of 650, 1,000 and 1,500 mm between centres, Suprema machines offer two wheel-head options, and feature fast-to-set ‘easy’ graphical grinding software. Supporting a newly developed colour touchscreen interface is the latest Fanuc power motor control that offers increased machine storage for thousands of dressing and grinding programs. Also added are Heidenhain’s latest 12.5 nm scales to both the vertical and cross-feed axes, providing 40% improvement on interpolation.
