Holroyd Precision’s TG 350 rotor grinding machine is designed to provide accuracy, speed and repeatability through greater levels of automation and reduced setup time. TG-series machines are designed primarily for the finish grinding of helical screw components such as worm screws and rotors after they have been milled to a rough or semi-finished state.
The TG 350 saves cycle time with its diamond dressing wheels that continually dress during the cycle. Fully automated on-machine probing provides closed-loop feedback of corrections to the dresser wheel and does not require a high level of operator skill. TG models offer production rates and accuracies to suit precise manufacturing strategies.
