CNC tool grinder simulation exported in STEP, IGES
Users of ANCA CNC tool and cutter grinders should benefit from the latest CIMulator3D grinding simulation software, which can now export a simulated tool in STEP Formats AP203 AP214 and IGES.
Machine grinds tools as small as 0.5mm diameter
A CNC tool grinder is designed for grinding small cutting tools with diameters as low as 0.5mm having overcome problems of vibration, thermal growth, wheel wear and tool run-out.
Unlike standard punch grinders this solution is able to create punches with concave and convex shapes.
Once the shape is designed the software will specify the wheel shape required to grind the punch.
This wheel shape can then be loaded into the ANCA Wheel Editor.
Using the internal dresser on the TX7+ it can be dressed into the wheel.
The complementary high speed and power grinding spindle on the TX7+ allow high material removal rates to reduce overall cycle time.
The built-in dresser and dressing software allow quick setup and changeover times.
Some of the benefits of the Keyhole Punch package: - Quick and easy setup - In process dressing - Large material removal rate - Short cycle time - Customised shapes.
