Cylindrical Grinding Machine

Schaudt Mikrosa GmbH won the i-NOVO Award at EMO 2015 in Milan for the centreless external Cylindrical Grinding Machine KRONOS S 250. The machine is perfectly designed for high-volume production in the high-precision segment and for the plunge and throughfeed grinding of workpieces in the diameter range of 1.5 to 35 mm, and is constructed with a plunge grind width of up to 245 mm. The new design is geared systematically towards ergonomy and user-friendliness. The control panel has quick and simple height adjustment. This means that the operator can adapt it to his own needs and thereby avert potential postural defects. To simplify the cleaning process, the machine’s surface structures were improved and the materials used were optimised. The area intended for the feet in the KRONOS S 250’s operating area was expanded considerably. This gives the operator more room to move and, above all, better access to the working area. All of the machine’s connections were consolidated sensibly with the aim of carrying out any possible maintenance and service assignments more quickly and efficiently. Possible technologies: plunge cut grinding; throughfeed grinding; 6° inclined plunge cut grinding; plunge cut grinding in mass production; oscillation grinding; and grinding of multiple operations in one cycle by offsetting the workpiece or grinding spindle.
