Unlike alternative grinding machines, Vollmer says the CAG200 introduces a completely different generation of machine technology. While other manufacturers move the saw blade, the CAG200 clamps the whole blade for the 2-axis grinding head to move across the blade (the 2-axis head permits the processing of the tooth pitch, height and shape). The technique is said to minimise vibration, improve surface finish and guarantee precision.
The CAG200 is suitable for machining blades from 1.4 to 2.6 mm thick, with tooth length from 800 to 1,500 mm, and pitch from 15 to 40 mm.
