The Star NTG-4L tool and cutter grinder from Star SU is a five-axis CNC grinder for manufacturing, sharpening and reconditioning a variety of cutting tools. Equipped with a four-station wheel-pack changer and Numroto software, the machine is designed for high productivity and precision. A mineral cast base provides increased vibration damping and thermal stability performance, and all three axes are driven by linear motors to avoid elasticity, backlash, friction effects and drive-chain vibration. Both of the machine’s rotary axes feature integrated torque motors for high and precise torques at optimal speeds, the company says. The tool and cutter grinder can be optionally equipped with an automation package including a FANUC LR Mate robot. According to Star SU, the machine’s quick setup and stability make it well-suited for high-mix, low-volume jobs.
