Tool Grinding Technologies Inc suppliesoffers Genius, a new generation 6-axis CNC tool grinder from TGT Inc. Some of the constructional features of this tool grinder include: This compact machine has configuration for 6 CNC axis. Base, column made of cost iron provides good vibration dampening. Workhead is placed on C-axis [tool swivel] enabling precision tools and high accuracy ball nose end mills. Quick change draw-in type collet system from Nann Germany is provided for run out repeatability of 0.005 mm at 50 mm, Twin grinding spindles can accommodate maximum 8 grinding wheels [4/spindle]. Some technical configurations of these grinder include:: work piece range - diameter f 1 mm to f300 mm; maximum tool length - 350 mm from ISO gauge plane; maximum flute grinding length - 270 mm at 30 degree helix; machine data - grinding spindle - integral water cooled motor of 9/11.5 kW, from 3000-10000 RPM, S1/S6 duty cycle; maximum number of grinding wheels - 8.Some of the additional features of this grinder include: Other features: Finite Element Analysis [FEA] for estimation of structural rigidity; programmable steady rest for small diameter tools manufacturing; patented spherogrind technology for high accuracy ball nose grinding; high productivity - reduced cycle time due to 2 spindles and optimised strokes; complete tool manufacturing in one setup; gun drill resharpening - hollow clamping arrangement to facilitate gun drill holding; optional menu driven software with a facility to define point with 5 different clearances; possibility to grind even the twin lip gun drills; long tools manufacturing and resharpening - innovative steady rest with micro adjustment facility; and 3D simulation - optional 3D interface provision with Vericut/System V software. This provision helps in tool design and reduces trial time on the machine.
