Grinding is one of the most widely used manufacturing processes and, in the last few decades, has developed considerably. An example of these developments is hardening by grinding, an operation that is being studied to provide an option to the conventional hardening processes. But even in long-established technologies such as generating grinding, substantial improvements in terms of speed and quality have been made. Machine tools for generating grinding target high production volumes in industries that require large-lot, series production such as automotive. These industries are known for continuously growing demands in the areas of cost reduction, energy efficiency and environmental improvement. To serve these markets, machine and process developers react with solutions that cross technological boundaries.
GP26W, GA26W – CNC Precision Cylindrical Grinders
Okuma Corporation is promoting the GP26W and GA26W cylindrical grinders with wheelhead traverse systems that improve ease of use in small footprints.
The Okuma GP26W and GA26W are designed for stable, high-accuracy grinding of small parts used in automobiles, motorcycles, hydraulic equipment, home appliances, and more. These compact machines are especially suited for small workpieces and offer high-accuracy in mass-production machining. A compact body and a space-saving footprint are achieved thanks to the wheelhead’s traverse structure, which shortens work lines and contributes to a higher work efficiency.
The GPW/GAW series is equipped with the newly-developed OSP-P300GA controller for grinders. The new control means increased user functionality for easier operation and increased work efficiency.
JAGURA CNC internal & cylindrical grinding machine
JAGURA Industry Ltd. has been established in 1986. Base on the excellent technologies and R&D capability, we manufacture and provide a wide range of high quality grinding machines for various grinding applications In the beginning, we manufactured punch grinder and various internal and external grinding machines. After over 20 years’ continuous effort, we now can manufacture full range of CNC internal and cylindrical grinding machines, CNC internal grinding machine, CNC cylindrical grinding machine, CNC centerless grinding machine, variety of precision micro internal and external grinding machine
The most important feature of JAGURA CNC internal & cylindrical grinding machine is the grinding unit can be designed according to the customer’s workpiece. Customized design ability is what we are most proud. In the application of internal grinding, external grinding and end-face grinding, JAGURA provides the total solutions to customers.
JAGURA can not only design mechanism structure according to workpiece clamping swing and workpiece length, but also set spindle working position layout according to customer’s requirement. Moreover, regarding workpiece clamping, JAGURA provides several clamping methods, such as hydraulic soft chuck clamping, collet clamping, Diaphragm chuck clamping, 3 jaw chuck clamping and magnetic chuck clamping. As to the control system,
JAGURA develops two control systems: 1. EASY CNC, 2. CNC for different grinding applications. The JAGURA dialogue HMI is divided into 4 main sections Main menu/Dressing process/Grinding path programs and Program links Unlike the traditional CNC systems utilizing complicated G code & M code .Operator simply select the built-in grinding and dressing program, set operation parameters and enter required grinding size and then the machine will perform fully automatically grinding process.
