Vertical sharpening machine VG400

5-axis

With its vertical tool holder axis, the VG400 offers fast and ergonomic tool loading. This center is particularly well suited to sharpening work and the manufacture of special tools. Wheel changer Large autonomy: 10 wheels possible in store (5 stations at the rate of 3 wheels per hub). Easy management of grinding wheels on their hubs. As the changer brings the hubs to the spindle, the movements required to produce the tool are not affected (compact strokes for optimum precision). Charging time < 5s Automatic loading of tools by loading robot Universal Solution: Large workspace to integrate any turning stations, possibility of modifying grippers, jaws and pallets to adapt to the most numerous cases. Reliability: This type of robot has been selected by the nuclear industry on this criterion. Simplicity of implementation: 80 min training time. Possibility of loading in tool holders ensuring a concentricity of 0.003 mm. The robot loads either the socket or the tool. The solution is economical since only one sleeve per diameter is required Autonomy range: 14 mm diameter range (eg: possibility of loading from 6 to 20 mm diameter without operator intervention). Flexible pallets: Pallets (composed of modular elements) to freely mix the diameters and the number of tools per diameter. Flexible programming: Possibility of mixing milling cutters, drill bits, reamers... of different lengths and diameters on the same pallet. By machine axes: Can be implemented in the factory or retrofitted on the customer's site (even on ten-year-old machines), the assembly is made up of a pallet fixed to the generator and a clamp on the body of the electro spindle.
