Toyoda has announced the GU4x100, the first universal grinder ever built by the Japanese manufacturer.
Toyoda's UK first for cylinder head production
A travelling-column machining centre linked to a space-saving pallet pool system for storing 10 pallets on two levels has increased cylinder head production capacity at Ruston
The grinder is the first from Toyoda Mitsui to be equipped with a 3-axis NC gantry loader as standard equipment, allowing long periods of unattended running.
Integration with other production cells is achieved using pallets or conveyors.
Ideal for use with either aluminium oxide or CBN wheels, the machine has a compact footprint measuring only 950mm wide without the loader.
It is also the first Toyoda Mitsui grinder to be fitted with a Fanuc control - the 21i CNC - rather than the manufacturer's own.
This provides control of six axes, three for the machine and three for the loader.
A notable feature on this and all other the company's other grinders is the Stat hydrostatic/hydrodynamic wheel spindle bearing.
Absence of metal-to-metal contact and good vibration damping characteristics assure high accuracy and long service life.
Grinding speed is 45m/s, although 60 or 80m/s is available for CBN.
Other specifications include 219mm wheelhead infeed and 20m/min rapid traverse rate; 32 - 1,000 rpm workhead spindle speed; and 25mm tailstock quill stroke.
A single point, diamond wheel dresser is standard.
