Dress with CBN on tool grinders
Until now, CNC dressing with a diamond dressing roll has only been possible with CBN wheels and has rarely been used on tool grinders, but Schuette now offers a solution.
Until now, CNC dressing with a diamond dressing roll has only been possible with CBN wheels and has rarely been used on tool grinders, not least because it demands an inordinate design effort to accommodate an appropriate, speed- controlled dressing attachment on a 5-axis grinder It is here that Schutte exploits the opportunities provided by the well proven, digital, synchronous AC motor's use as a universal rotary axis (A-axis)

Twin pick-offs shorten multi-spindle cycles
Schuette has introduced a twin pick-off spindle concept, which will reduce cycle whenever the back-end machining operation is longer than front-end
This multi-functional machine module performs well, not only as - a high-precision dividing attachment for helix grinding operations, - a fast rotating work spindle for high-performance cylindrical grinding operations, but also as - a dressing attachment that carries the diamond dressing roll and whose speed can be set to the appropriate technologically most advantageous value.
These optimal conditions allow not only for the CNC dressing of CBN wheels, but also of diamond wheels on the Schutte WU 305.
A collision-free, integrated laser measuring system can gauge the grinding wheel geometry with great dynamic.
This has created the conditions that lead to constantly maintained workpiece quality in batch production, by applying optimal technological grinding conditions.
