In the FLUTEMAT, the threaded tools are mounted with a spring-loaded square insert and tailstock center. The fixed stop at the tailstock guarantees that the start of each flute is identical. The dressing unit mounted directly behind the grinding spindle helps ensure a short cycle time. It carries out in-process dressing of the grinding wheels while the grinding or loading operation is under way.

Equipment and Options
MACHINE BED
The machine bed made of mineral cast provides impressive damping behavior and torsional rigidity. The temperature stability allows fluctuations in the ambient temperature to be compensated with a minimum of effort, ensuring a high level of dimensional stability throughout the whole day.
DRESSING UNIT
Grinding wheel dressing is CNC controlled. A driven diamond dressing wheel or a workpiece-dependent diamond profile roller can be used. Dressing takes place manually or using an automatic dressing program with grinding wheel compensation.
ABRASIVE
Depending on the application, the abrasive CBN or diamond is used. The basic bodies of the grinding wheels comprise steel or carbon. In conjunction with CBN, it can make sense to use a carbon base body: It is light, has vibration-damping properties and remains dimensionally stable even at high speeds.
CONTROL SYSTEM
The Erwin Junker Operator Panel was specifically developed to control grinding machines.
