Sharpening of carbide-tipped circular saw blades in virtually all tooth geometries is promised of the new Vollmer CHP840 and CHP1300 grinding centres. With capacities up to 840 mm (CHP840) or 1,300 mm (CHP1300), the machines have four CNC-controlled axes for grinding and polishing in a single cycle. Chip guide notching, negative hook angle machining and chip breaker machining are all possible, as well as bevel angle grinding on TCT and HSS saws.
A 10-inch LCD colour display with a multi-function hand wheel offers fast and safe operation of up to 4,000 programmes in the database for aluminium, plastic, wood and the metal cutting sectors.
With oscillation grinding as standard and motor driven hook and clearance angle adjustment, the CHP provides high material removal rates with the flexibility to rapidly switch from face to top grinding. This productivity is further enhanced by a optimum movement co-ordination for short movements that reduce non-grinding times considerably.
For the saw mill, solid wood and furniture producing sectors, the CHP has diagonally integrated feed pawl with pneumatic lift that ensures even chipper segments pose no problem for the new machine. The new CHP also has a wide-opening blade clamping mechanism for processing saws with a collar or reinforcement ring.
For the metal cutting sector, the CHP has an adjustable grinding barrel for the flexible machining of chip-breakers whilst the software includes negative tooth face geometries and chip breaker machining as standard.
