Rema's 40kW automatic billet grinder has been designed to surface grind for optimum cleanliness super alloy bar material, as used in manufacturing high technology investment castings, ie turbine blades,surgical implants, turbochargers,etc The billet grinder automatically loads, grinds and unloads diameters from 75mm to 205mm and from 250mm to 1550mm long Parts from 100mm to 250mm long can also be ground but will have to be loaded manually

After the OD grinding the machine will automatically grind the end face.

Constant grinding pressure is controlled via proportional valves and a current controller.

The machine has a Y and an X axis.

The operator can control the grinding sequence via a joystick that allows forward and reverse rotation and left-right or right -left roll grinding head feed.

Alternatively the grinding sequence can be set to fully automated operation with programs recalled from the Siemens S7 PLC.

A 40kW motor drives the 400mm diameter x 50mm wide grinding wheel for OD grinding and a 25kW motor grinds the end face.

These powerful motors are necessary to guarantee a minimum metal removal rate of 10kg per hour.
