Soraluce machines add another dimension to milling
Soraluce machines add another dimension to heavy-duty milling applications.
Workhead swivel and speeds are 90 deg and 18 to 560 revs/min, respectively, and wheelhead swivel is quoted as + 40 deg to -15 deg.
Able to utilise 500mm diameter grinding wheels, wheel speed is 1,695/1,960 revs/min and peripheral wheel speed is 45m/sec.
Table feed rate is 0.05m/min to 5m/min.
The K51 teach-in CNC is a high-performance control system that allows grinding to be performed under manual control or automatically, while also accommodating longitudinal grinding with auto infeed at table reversal points, wheel dressing and intermediate wheel dressing.
In manual mode, wheelhead infeed length and rate control is via a control knob, which can be used to increase the step ten-fold.
For manual longitudinal grinding, automatic infeed can be adjusted at the reversal points.
In volume mode, programs can be created automatically during the grinding of the first workpiece by teach-in methods, with no special programming knowledge being required.
Programming can also be by direct entry of cycle parameters.
As standard, up to 10 teach-in programs can be stored (ie five plunge-cut and five longitudinal grinding programs) and program changes can be easily accommodated for further work since each change is automatically remembered.
The BUA 25A is one of a number of Cetos grinders available from Ward CNC - which includes internal/external, single/two-wheelhead cylindrical plunge and crankshaft-type machines - as well Hankook two-axis turning machines, Union horizontal live spindle machining centres, Soraluce travelling column and travelling table milling machines and bed mills, Toshulin vertical boring, turning and milling machines, as well as Kia CNC lathes, turning centres, and vertical and horizontal machining centres - representatives of which will also be on show at MACH 2002 - NEC, Birmingham: April 29-May 3 Hall: 4.
