Modules simplify CNC grinding machine
choice
Modular CNC cylindrical grinding machine series covers almost every application and offers a multitude of processing options, which makes machine selection simpler.
The EMO 2005 provides the perfect occasion for the large-scale presentation of the new Junker machine concept It is called Evolution

Full-width CBN centreless grinding saves time
Centerless cylindrical grinding machines uses CBN wheels offering simultaneous abrasion along the entire grinding wheel width, which ensures considerably reduced machining times.
Large crankshafts rough- and finish-ground
Demonstrations of a modular grinding machine system showed complete CBN processing of large crankshafts with simultaneous processing of main and/or pin bearings.
With this concept, Junker forms the basis of more profitability and flexibility in the field of grinding.
Evolution_ is gradually being implemented in all existing series.
Until such time as the Evolution platforms 1, 4 and 6 have been fully launched, the proven 1000 and 3000 series will remain the highlights of the currently available grinding technology.

Acu-Rite (GB) has announced an extension to its trade-in offer for used DROs until the end of June, so successful has the promotion been.
All in all, Evolution_ presents four distinct advantages: planning optimisation, operating cost reductions, output maximisation and future integration.
* Planning optimisation - Evolution covers almost every application and offers a multitude of processing options, which makes choosing the right grinding machine simple.
Evolution provides every customer with a perfectly tailored solution, which will optimally meet his requirements - consistently on the basis of frequently proven technologies and components.
Evolution2 stands for: reliable decisions, flexible planning.
* Operating cost reductions - the low costs-of-ownership associated with Evolution are the result of a whole package of individual advantages: The standardisation of modules and the use of identical parts allow for a more efficient service and reduce the spare parts stock.
Consistently identical operations reduce the need for training and enable the operator to change between machines without any problem.
Even the cost for space is reduced as, for some of machines, the machine length could be reduced by over 25%: * Output maximisation - the technical concept of the new Junker machine generation increases our customers' output.
This is achieved, on the one hand, through increased machine availability and, on the other hand, through low cycle times thanks to shorter and superimposed travel within the machine.
One of Junker's greatest competences is and will always be the complete processing of automotive parts such as cranks, cams and gearshafts.
Many customers worldwide have already decided to process these parts by applying Junker technology.
The option of complete processing in one clamping is, of course, also available with Evolution.
* Future integration - thanks to the many possibilities opening up after the initial phase of machine operation, Evolution provides interesting perspectives.
The consistent technologies offer, for example through the simple integration of modern components, many possibilities for a potential upgrade or conversion for a second 'phase of productivity'.
This, of course, also increases the resale value of an Evolution machine.
Its modular compatibility also makes it easier to extend a plant or subsequently integrate new parts into an existing production line.
At the Junker booth at the EMO 2005, the company provided detailed information on the advantages of Evolution2 and demonstrated rough- and finish-grinding operations on crankshafts using a Jucrank 6 L pin chasing grinding machine - one of the first representatives of this new machine generation.
