External cylindrical grinding machine KARGO

internal cylindricalfor shaftfor large workpieces

Up to 4.5 meters long and a weight of several tons – the KARGO series tirelessly masters grinding shafts of this size. Corundum as well as CBN or diamond grinding wheels allow for maximum flexibility. They can be designed for any cutting performance and always provide the highest precision. The various sizes and wheelhead versions make this robuste machine ideal for the cost-effective grinding of heavy workpieces with unbeatable availability. Highlights High flexibility due to several wheelhead versions Best grinding quality due to automatic compensation of disturbance variables Process reliability due to complete grinding in one clamping High stability due to solid structure Productivity thanks to JUNKER grinding experience paired with high availability, worldwide service and spare parts support Parts are located and driven between centers or with a clamping chuck for most external cylindrical grinding applications. The KARGO uses straight and angular plunge-cut grinding technologies. With the straight plunge grinding process, the cutting and infeed movement is radial to the workpiece. The diameters are either ground in one plunge or several plunges with axial displacement. With angular plunge-cut grinding, the grinding wheel is inclinded. The wheelhead (B axis) is tilted or mounted in a fixed position. The X and Z axes interpolate. This makes grinding diameters and flat surfaces in one plunge possible. Internal cylindrical grinding enables the precise grinding of internal functional surfaces such as bores, cones or flat surfaces.
