High performance grinding of camshafts and external contours

An X-axis equipped with hydro-static ball screw drive and hydro-static guide way guarantees the most accurate grinding result. The compound table design reduces the size of the footprint of the camshaft grinder. The machine is able to grind cams with cylindrical or conical tracks, cams with concave radii or cams with chamfers.

Typical applications for the camshaft grinders include camshafts for passenger car and motorcycle engines, camshafts for injection pumps, eccentric shafts, external polygons and external cams for textile and packaging machines.

The modular system, for the variable settings of the camshaft grinders, includes different sizes of grinding spindles, post- and in-process measuring devices, dressing attachments for CBN and corundum wheels, touch-recognition during grinding and dressing, workholding units and chucks of different sizes. The equipment offered with this machine is complemented by environmentally friendly coolant processing plants and exhaust systems for the camshaft grinders. Workpieces are loaded and unloaded by an automatic workhandling system that includes an internal or external gantry loader or, alternatively, by a robot.
