The precision-ground guideways of the F-Grind Advance NC surface grinder are coated with TURCITE B to have a low-friction surface. Stick-slip is reduced drastically between the two precision surfaces. Furthermore, the surfaces allow for very quiet motion and are highly resistant against wear.
Lubrication
The spindles have special sealed bearings and are lubricated for the service life, that ensuring minimal servicing. The guideways are automatically supplied with oil straight after activation of the hydraulic system. Lack of oil is thus never a problem. In addition, an automatic alarm system warns the operator in case of a low oil level.
Basic machine parts annealed for stress relief
The frame, the table, the support, the column, and all other main machine castings are quenched and tempered twice. This minimizes all metallurgical stresses.
