FLUTE GRINDER

Flute grinding is the most time consuming and thus most cost intensive manufacturing step during tool grinding (taps, drills, end mills) production. In recent years, tool grinding machines have become more compact, axis path lengths have reduced, and machine controls have become more efficient.

Simultaneously ITM has developed flute grinder that produces higher and more economic output.

The workhead is mounted on a heavy precision slide onto the machine base.  It is moved on the slide by a three position hydraulic cylinder for loading and unloading tools.  As a standard, the workhead is equipped with a collet assembly and hydraulic collet closer.  During flute grinding the parts are supported in a center on the sturdy tailstock, which is mounted in a fixed position to the machine base. This set-up allows for quick and easy changeovers to different tools because the tip of the tool always determines the location.
