The New Grinding Edge: Non-Round Profile/Contour

January 13, 2023

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

Specifications of a Standard Non-Round Grinder*: Admit between Centres: 630 mm

Center Height: 160 mm Maximum Weight between Centres: 150 kg Work Speed: 1 – 500 rpm Wheel Speed: Ranging from 45 – 80 mps Suitable for both cBN or conventional wheels Customization available as per the application requirement
Sample Applications
