Grinders

Jones & Shipman offers Grinders. This is with GE-Fanuc Touchscreen technology with ultra advanced grinding and dressing software suite. This control provides the capabilities to interpolate two or more axes simultaneously to provide precision grinding of complex shapes, angles, radii and surfaces, with quick and easy set-up. Product range includes cylindrical grinder, very special surface, profile and creepfeed grinder. These have been specifically designed to offer unrivalled ease-of-use coupled to the highest levels of accuracy and productivity. Each machine has functionality comparable to many conventional CNC systems. This when combined with "Easy" software provides the benefits of faster set-ups and changeover times with faster simpler production of components. Features available on all models include "intelligent roughing out" of the grinding wheel which enables a new wheel form to be quickly and efficiently "chopped out" to a basic profile and then finished dressed using the exact profile. One feature, which has the potential to save grinding shops many hours of work and enables sophisticated and expensive components to be saved from the reject bin, is a "regrind" function. This can be applied to any individual element of a linked grind cycle and incidentally up to 20 grind cycles can be linked together at any one time.
