Grinding and machining technology on show EMO Hannover 2019

Robbi (hall 11, stand A78) will highlight its universal grinding machine ranges with the Omicron 600 R and the Omicron 3606 CNC. The former is a conventional universal grinder and represents the most compact of the five machine, R & E series which is available with centre distances between 600mm and 1,500mm.

Ideal for small batch production that requires high levels of accuracy this series of machines delivers roundness of 0.8µm and cylindricity from 2-6µm. Each machine in the series can be equipped with an internal grinding spindle with tilting support or, with rotating support positioned at the rear of the wheelhead.

The Omicron 3606 now benefits from the availability of the Fanuc 0i-TF control as an alternative to the exiting Siemens control option.

Delta (hall 11, stand B81) will be displaying three grinding machines: the Mini 7 Diastep, the Rotax 7 Compact Plus, and the LC400 with L11E.

The Mini 7 Diastep is a tangential grinding machine with travelling column with a table size of 800 x 550mm. The machine will be shown using Delta’s Diastep PLC that manages all the machine functions, displays the axes, and allows the user to set an automatic grinding cycle through the guided menu.

The Rotax 7 Compact Plus is a tangential rotary table grinding machine with travelling column and hydrostatic slideways. The LC400 – also a rotary table grinding machine – will be shown using the L11E automation system. This electronic micron-level feeding device is applied to the vertical axis of the LC range.

Perfect (hall 11, stand A20) will present the European debut of the high precision Perfect X CNC series of surface grinders in the form of the PFG-X36H with a table size of 300 by 600mm. Control is provided via the Siemens 828D which provides users with even greater programming capability for improved performance.

Perfect will also show the PFG-DL3060AH saddle-type surface grinder featuring automatic cross feed and hydraulic controlled longitudinal movement. The machine at EMO will also feature the option of a control panel that is positioned higher and also rotates for improved operator/machine interaction

MCM (hall 13, stand C14) will be highlighting the ability to carry out milling, turning and grinding on a single machine with its multi-tasking Tank.G 1800 machining centre. The machine fully integrates all of these machining functions to optimise the manufacturing process.

At EMO MCM will also be demonstrating Flight Recorder a recently developed system that works in conjunction with the machine’s jFMX software to enable predictive maintenance.

Lagun (hall 13, stand A60) will have a BM 3 RT bed mill with integrated rotary C-axis table on its stand that combines with the machine’s universal milling head which has encoder controlled positioning of 1° on both planes and a 4,000rpm spindle to provide multi-face machining capabilities.

Jainnher (hall 11, stand G35) the centreless grinding machine specialist will highlight its capabilities with the Jainnher JHC12S. This machine allows through-feed and plunge grinding of components measuring up to 40mm diameter while holding micron level accuracies.
