The HG 208 cylindrical grinders were designed to be used in manufacturing, making the customization of these machines very important. A wide range of technology and production modules ensure that the cylindrical grinders can be customized for any manufacturing requirements, no matter if internal cylindrical grinding or external cylindrical grinding.
The integral loader allows for the cylindrical grinders to be linked up into a manufacturing system and they can also be integrated into existing production lines. For example, in the machining of gear shafts, these shafts are pre-machined on VTC vertical shaft turning machines and finish-machined on HG cylindrical grinders. Complete manufacturing systems from a single source.
The HG 208 cylindrical grinders, for the internal and external grinding, accommodates shafts with a nominal grinding length of up to 800 mm (31 in). With the help of the modular design of the cylindrical grinders, it is possible to customize the grinders for individual machining requirements.
