linear axis: X,Y,Z, and 2 rotary axis:  A and B.

The A axis which supports the tool, is rotated by a torque motor which allows cylindrical grinding cycles. On B axis side, the active face of the grinding wheel working closer to the pivot axis of the electro-spindle, the accuracy associated with the indexing of this axis is optimal.

Wheel changer

Wheel changer

Large autonomy: up to 18 grinding wheels in store (6 stations with 3 wheels per hub).

Easy management of the wheels on their hubs.

The changer is bringing the hubs into spindle, therefore the necessary movements for the realization of the tool are not impacted (compact strokes for an optimal precision).

Loading time < 5s.

 

Automatic tools loading/unloading by the loading robot

Universal Solution:

Large workspace to integrate possible fliping stations, possibilities to modify the clamps, jaws and pallets to adapt to the most numerous needs.

Reliability:

This type of robot has been selected by the nuclear industry on this criterion.

Simplicity of implementation:

80 min training time. Possibility of loading in tool holders with a concentricity of 0.003 mm. The robot loads either the socket or the tool. The solution is economical since only one socket per diameter is necessary

Autonomy range:

Diameter range of 14 mm (possibility to load tools with a diameter between  6 and 20 mm without needing an operator).

Flexible pallets:
Pallets (composed of modular elements) for mixing, upon your wish, the diameters and the number of tools per diameter.

Ergonomic and flexible programming:

Possibility to mix mills, drills, reamers ... of different lengths and diameters on the same pallet.
