The New Grinding Edge: Non-Round Profile/Contour
Non-Round Grinding (NRG) is not anymore about the capability alone to grind polygonal or eccentric profiles or custom-designed free-forms; the need is now about the
enhanced precision-productivity-cum-efficiency.
MGT’s leading technology has established many such highly developed grinders as a trailblazer for NRG with various combinations of advancements amalgamated. One such combination of technologies involves –
- Direct-driven work head for improved stiffness at express rates
- Hydrostatic slide for prompt, fast-moving and buoyant infeed
- Hydrostatic spindle for high speed grinding and enhanced load capacity
- Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software for automated part program generation with features –
- Path-planning for any given custom profile, including profile definition and analysis
- Choice of grinding modes and feed optimization for efficient grinding methodology
- Direct in-process communication with the controller of the machine
