The Robbi Group offers the MSG CNC series of moving wheelhead grinding machines which are ideally suited to the grinding of carbon fibre, rubber, ceramic, composite and ferrous alloy rolls.
The competitive advantages of a grinding machines within the machining of the roller industry includes;
Grinding speed
Increased amount of material removal
Superior surface finish and increased part accuracy
A traditional lathe, mounted with a grinding toopost is offered by some manufacturers, however, this arrangement has several flaws including, a slow and inaccurate process where todays engineers are demanding improved surface finishes and part accuracy.
A Robbi moving wheelhead grinding machine can maximise production and replace several lathes reducing costly labour, floorspace and energy overheads. Furthermore, you will also see a superior quality finished component using a reduced amount of electricity.
Grooving attachment
The grooves in the rolls are performed by rotating the wheelhead electro-spindle by 90˚ in relation to the main grinding wheel.
The ROBBI Group designed, grooving attachment utilises electric motors that are able to cope with most types of groove.
Human Machine Interface (HMI)
The machine operator has the ability to control the machine with an intuitive, easy to operate, and Robbi designed machine interface. This allows a faster machine set-up for the efficient grinding of roller profiles including complex grooving cycles.
Mechanical Precision
Base
The rigid machine base structure is manufactured from normalised cast iron. A stabilised process ensures the guides will not deform over the life of the machine.
