ID, OD, Face, Taper, Radius, Contour Grinding in Single Chucking
Eastec 2017: Hardinge Grinding Group, a subsidiary of Hardinge Inc., will showcase its USACH 100‐T4 machine for ID/OD precision cylindrical grinding in a variety of industries.
Hardinge Grinding Group, a subsidiary of Hardinge Inc., will showcase its USACH 100‐T4 machine for ID/OD precision cylindrical grinding in a variety of industries. The machine is said to combine ID, OD, face, taper, radius and contour grinding in one chucking. Thanks to the generous 500-mm (19.68") cross-axis travel (X axis), the machine processes parts as large as 450 mm (17.7") in diameter and as heavy as 272 kg (500 lbs).
Other features and options include as many as four motorized grinding spindles; a high-precision measuring probe; a torque motor B axis; a high-precision hydrostatic workhead (B1 axis); a Siemens or FANUC control; an option for simultaneous face and ID grinding; and an option for full or partial automated part loading/unloading.
