The word hybrid is derived from the Greek description for something that is bundled, crossed or mixed. In engineering, it describes a system which skilfully combines two technologies and therefore offers the best of both worlds. The combination of sub systems can give rise to brand-new positive features.
This is the case with the VHybrid 260 from VOLLMER, which combines the strengths of an innovative grinding machine with a powerful erosion machine – and makes it possible to switch between both functions in next to no time. The VHybrid delivers noticeably increased efficiency and profitability when machining rotary carbide and PCD tools with diameters of up to 150 mm.
Altogether that makes for two hundred per cent VOLLMER efficiency and profitabili
For tool machining with its complex production tasks and high quality demands, the integration of two technologies in one machine can be a particularly efficient solution. The VHybrid 260 offers complete machining in one set-up, with minimum space requirements and maximum flexibility.
GRINDING AND ERODING ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL
Innovative VOLLMER multi-layer machining with two spindles, automatic grinding and eroding wheel replacement is the key to the complete integration of two important tool machining processes. The ingenious arrangement of the grinding and electrode wheel is set precisely in the pivot point of the C axis ensuring you always achieve perfect results.
THE MACHINE CONCEPT
For perfect grinding processes, the VHybrid 260 uses the innovative and proven principles of the successful VGrind 360, the world's first grinding machine with two vertically arranged grinding spindles.
