ELB microCut - creep-feed grinding

The table with a roll dressing unit or via interpolation of feed and cross axes

Description

The microCut model was specifically designed to meet the requirements of profile and creep-feed grinding applications. The modular column design offers a small footprint which can be easily configured into economical production cells frequently used in the turbine manufacturing industry. This machine is available in compact standard sizes but special designs with spindle power up to 52 kW are also available. The integration into production lines is achieved through automatic material handling and tool changers. A common solution to reduce non-productive time is to equip the microCut with an index table to allow loading and unloading during the machining cycle. For high-precision applications, dressing of the grinding wheel can be done on the table with a diamond roll dressing unit or via interpolation of feed and cross axes. For production grinding the overhead diamond roll dressing unit is used for CDCF or intermitten dressing.
