Aeronautic grinding machine MACRO-I

tool

The MACRO-I is a production grinding Center with a X-travel up to 900 mm long. The enhanced X-travel allows grinding of large sized work pieces. This machine offers an index table so that loading and unloading can be done during the grind cycle. The index table needs only a few seconds to transport the newly clamped work piece into the grinding area with a simple rotation. Long dwell times are therefore eliminated. This makes the equipment very suitable for multiple machine operation as well as automation. The MACRO series is characterized mainly by the following useful features - torque tube design - polymer concrete-filled machine bed - tool slides of the machine are made from cast iron - high stock removal rates achievable - efficient vibration damping - high thermal stability - water-cooled spindles and spindle drives - different rotary speeds and power levels available - stable temperature during grinding - consistently high part quality Small footprint, machine width only approx. 2.4 m [8 ft] Optimized rigidity for vibration dampening High removal rates Dependable part quality Highest productivity with integrated index table Compact design Maintenance friendly Efficient vibration dampening High thermal stability Water cooled spindle Spindles in different power classes available Grinding operations in up to five axes Stable temperatures during grinding Various types CNC controls available (standard: Siemens 840 D sl) Integrated wheel management Numerous options available Loading and unloading parallel to grinding Reduced cycle times with overhead dresser
