5-axis grinding machine for tool regrinding and production

The moneymaker Double spindle for up to 6 grinding wheels, 8 kW ( 100% ON time ) Motor power plus stable HSK50 interfaces form the foundation for successful tool grinding. Norma knows practically all today's cutting tools, inside and out. Mechanics, software and process experience of all Schneeberger applications are available. Also on offer are specialities such as profile grinding and production of throwaway tool tips, plus automatic handling. Precision is engineered and permanently produced; Norma as a robust basic machine is ready for the challenges of the future. Automatic loading for production and regrinding are solved to perfection on Norma. Access to the ground tools is possible parallel to machining time, loader charging takes place with the proven pallets. All is convenient to access at the side of the machine. For programming the production batches, the CNC operator's panel is simply swung towards the loader. All movements of the loading robot are CNC controlled, i.e. pallet assignment and clamping are freely definable. Integrated into the machine design, the loader requires no extra space and only a very small investment budget.

Applications in 4-axis or 2-axis machining

ARIES CNC the ideal machine for special-applications in metal working. For straight milling cutters, circular saws and soldered woodworking tools is this machine the best customer solution. 2 or 4 controlled CNC-Axis, 1 respectively 3 linear and 1 rotation axis with servo motors. The manual C-axis is equipped with an integrated positioning display on the control screen. The grinding head rotates +/- 180˚ Double grinding spindle with HSK50 wheel flange. 2.2 kw grinding motor, Optional 7.7 kW water cooled.

Flexible and accurate broach grinding

SCHNEEBERGER also have the ideal answer for grinding broaches. The result was a CNC-controlled broach grinding machine for diverse applications. No matter whether round, flat or helical tools, the CORVUS BBA takes all in its stride. But what renders this machine truly universal is the fact that it can still grind all other cutting tools as well.

Measuring machine

Tool measuring machine with 2 video measuring cameras, 3d probe and computer for data storing and protocol printing. Measuring of cutting tools without programming. Motor driven linear axis with joystick. Comparing the tool geometry with the dxF file. All functional elements are casting parts or made of steel. Highest precision guaranteed. Large working table on a cabinet with drawer-stick including computer with 21" screen.

The CNC profile grinding machine

Profile or contour grinding is known worldwide to be the special forte of SCHNEEBERGER grinding machines. The latest generation of CNC machines bears witness to many years’ experience in this demanding discipline. Mechanical universality and precision are the hallmarks of the SIRIUS series. Through simple programming even the smallest batches can be produced profitably. The entire profile tool culture is incorporated; there is scarcely a speciality that is not capable of being perfectly produced with SIRIUS in a matter of minutes. And therein is the reason for its success: a sophisticated, high-precision machine at an extremely reasonable price – the turnkey solution. Unmanned and flexible, SIRIUS HPM yields a huge performance in the grinding of rollover plates. The loading robot feeds the machine with precision, sensitivity and intelligence. Small batches with different profiles are just a routine matter for programming and mechanics alike
