Features:

Machine Bed: The machine bed is made of high quality "MEEHANITE" cast iron and has aging treatment. No distortion. Machine bed and slides are also heat treatment and precision ground. No worn out.
Gear Box: All gears are made of SNCM220 alloy steel having been normalized, carburized hardened and precision ground. No vibration and low noice.
Servo Motor for Regulating Wheel: Japanese servo motor is used as the regulating wheel motor which provides infinitely variable speed change from 0~295rpm and can be adjusted to ideal linear speed. The servo motor is driven directly by worm and worm gear. This can reduce vibration during grinding and consequently achieve the best roundness.
Regulating Wheel Dressing Unit: The angle of the regulating wheel dressing unit can be swivelled according to workpiece requirements in order to enhance accuracy.
Spindle: The grinding and regulating wheel spindles are made of high quality alloy steel (SNCM439), induction hardened superfinished. They are sturdy and strong enough to permit heavy duty grinding at high speed and assure superior surface finish.
Hydraulic Dressing Unit: Both grinding wheel and regulating wheel dressing units are hydraulic traversed. Traverse speed is infinitely adjustable. Dressing slides are made of special alloy cast iron and hand scraping. Assures smooth dressing and high accuracy.
Rotary Dressing Unit (optional accessories): Be applicable to the CBN grinding wheel, diamond grinding wheel or general abrasive grinding wheel.
Pressure Switch: One pressure switch is provided in the grinding wheel spindle lubrication system so that the spindle motor won't rotate while the lubrication pressure is reduced. This prevents the spindle from dry running and damage.
Hydraulic Oil Cooling Fan: During grinding, it cools down hydraulic oil temperature and therefore reduce size vibration also enhance grinding wheel spindle life.
Upper Slide: The upper slide can be rapidly and precisely swivelled up to ±5° in order to grind taper in infeed grinding and provide perfect contact between workpiece and grinding wheel in thrufeed grinding.

GROMAX Centerless Grinder  
 

Features:

  • Machine base made of the highest grade cast iron with carbonized heat treatment to ensure machine life and rigidity.

  • Slideways of regulating wheel are casted of double reverse V-type and precisely hand scraped & coated with turcite B for smooth movement and longevity.

  • Both the grinding and regulating spindles are made of Ni-Cr-Mo alloy steel, hardened and ground to obtain the highest accuracy

  • The regulating wheel is inclinable for ± 5° to meet different grinding demands. The spindles are retrofitted with hydrostatic babbit bearings and auto lube system. When the spindle rotates, it creates oil film between the spindle and bearing to prevent any metallic contacts to ensure accuracy and spindle life.

  • Micro switch to detect oil pressure of lube system, spindles will not rotate under insufficient pressure in the interest of safety and machine life, enabling maintenance free conditions.

  • Hydraulic dressing attachment: standard for both grinding and regulating wheels. Variable dressing speed controlled by hydraulic.
