Rollomatic’s GrindSmart 630XW machine is designed to offer more flexibility in grinding indexable inserts and other stationary cutting tools than conventional, single-purpose grinders. With its six fully interpolated CNC axes, a six鈥恠tation wheel changer and wheel inclination ranging to 45 degrees, the machine supports simple adaptation for short and long runs of individual insert designs. Its design allows full interchangeability between inserts and round tools, according to the company.
The clamping systems are designed to emulate the way inserts fit into their tool holders, increasing concentricity and accuracy. The clamping design supports indexable, non鈥恑ndexable and replaceable inserts; threading and form inserts; dog鈥恇one and grooving inserts; drilling, milling and ballnose tip inserts; and other non鈥恟ound tools. An electronic touch probe determines the exact location of the insert blank after clamping, allowing the software to grind the tool geometry according to the virtual centerline of the insert blank and achieve a run-out of 0.0001", according to Rollomatic.
The company says the machine’s six- or 16-station wheel and nozzle changer offers flexibility for grinding a variety of inserts and other stationary cutting tools while maintaining the ability to change to round鈥恠hank tools within minutes.
Additional features include an IC diameter range from 3.9 to 25.4 mm with automatic handling, linear motion control on CNC axes, desktop tool design software with 3D tool simulation and 3D machine animation with collision warning, chipbreaker grinding on the rake face, edge preparation grinding on the cutting edge, and a pick-and-place robot that protects inserts from damage after grinding. Optional features include a part flipper, an in-process rotary dressing and an automatic sticking device.
