SAMPLE APPLICATIONS & GRINDING OPERATIONS
ROTARY TRANSFER GRINDER (RTG)
SAMPLE APPLICATIONS & GRINDING OPERATIONS
To begin the cycle, a part is presented to the loading station. ITM can provide an automated load/unload station with an integrated Fanuc robot turnkey system. The rotary table can carry up to six collets which indexes for accurate and fast part exchange from station to station . The loaded part is now at the first workstation. Next, all of the workstations perform their programmed grinding application and another part is simultaneously loaded/unloaded. The workstations can be designed and arranged in a variety of combinations depending on your application and all stations work simultaneously. Which makes the total production time equal to the longest single operation plus transfer time. Making this the perfect production machine for your tools and parts.
One RTG machine can produce a complete part, which usually requires three or more conventional machines. This reduces set-up time, cycle time, floor space requirements, as well as operator involvement. The parts are produced with the highest level of quality. It also means that the feedrates for the shorter grinding operations can be reduced to match the cycle time for the longest operation, which increases wheel life and part quality, because finer wheels may be used to achieve higher surface finishes.
Features and options of the RTG include direct drive motorspindles of up to 50 HP, state of the art FANUC controls, bushings, V-block or Tailstock support, automatic wheel balancing, automatic locating probe, integrated blank oversize check, integrated quality control and FANUC Robots for loading of heavy and unique shape parts.
