On Stand 5080 at MACH 2010, Vollmer UK, the specialist for grinding and eroding machinery for tool production and maintenance will be exhibiting new innovations alongside renowned established technology. Shown for the first time in the UK will be the Loroch Solution K850 with a MACH debut for the CX100, whilst the CHD270 and Loroch CNBS machines will also be demonstrated.
Alongside will be a selection of PCD tooling which will demonstrate the capabilities of the Vollmer range of erosion machine tools with regard to processing drills and cutting tools as well as additional components. Vollmer will be presenting a seminar at MACH on Thursday June 10th at 12pm.
In terms of machines, Vollmer will be showing its Loroch CNBS 80 for the re-sharpening of bandsaw blades. The CNBS can accommodate saw blades from 8mm to 80mm wide, 0.5mm to 3mm thick and 2.8mm to 7m long with a pitch from 3mm to 34mm – catering for the majority of saw blades on the market. It can sharpen tungsten carbide tipped (TCT), CV and bi-metal blades rapidly at a rate of up to sixteen, 6m blades in one shift.
Offering variable grinding speeds from 100mm/minute to 600mm/minute with CBN or diamond grinding wheels, the CNBS provides flexibility through its control panel that enables the operator to input a range of operational parameters.
Alongside the CNBS will be the Loroch Solution K850 machine for the re-sharpening, re-toothing and chamfering of circular saw blades. Specifically for the machining of HSS blades, the unit can be used with saw blades from 40mm to 850mm diameter with chamfering possible on blades from 120mm to 850mm.
With a high level of automation for improving productivity and reducing costs, the Loroch Solution K850 can typically re-sharpen 45 blades with a 315mm diameter and 160 teeth in one shift with minimal operator intervention. Visitors to the stand will also be able to see the optional CAD system that enables the end user to design their own blades with tooth shape and geometry settings to suit specific jobs and materials.
For the sharpening and re-grinding of TCT circular saw blades, Vollmer will give the CX100 automatic grinding machine its MACH debut. The CX100 has been designed for economical processing of top, face and hollow faces on carbide tipped circular saw blades up to 500mm diameter. The CX100 is a fully CNC controlled machine with axes that control bevel grinding, grinding wheel feed, stroke and tooth feed, resulting in shorter grinding times and improved precision.
Utilising Vollmer's PMC-multi-processor control, the CX100 requires the minimal amount of data for operation thus improving user friendliness. With a graphic supported display, the computer system calculates tooth pitch once the diameter and number of teeth have been entered. The multi-processor control enables the machine to grind every tooth shape on the face and top in one cycle, reducing unproductive time and improving programming and productivity times for saws with complicated tooth geometries.
Also on show for the grinding of TCT blades will be the Vollmer CHD270 5-axis precision grinding machine. The fully CNC controlled machine has functions for controlling the feed and hook/clearance angle adjustment as well as an automatic measuring device and can be integrated with a robotic loading system to deliver flexible around the clock machining.
Built with a monobloc design for enhanced rigidity and improved tooth accuracy, the CHD270 has a 2-axis coordinate feed for enhanced flexibility.
