ITM THREAD GRINDER
This new concept in grinding machines was developed for the economic grinding of threads for taps, thread rolls, or other parts requiring a thread with or without relief or precision ring grooves (as used on crush rolls for example). The machine uses the latest technology in ball slides, spindles, Fanuc CNC controls and grinding wheels. The machine can be used with conventional wheels, plated CBN wheels, dressable CBN wheels or pre-dressed DIAMOND wheels. The machine can grind with single rib or multi rib dressed wheels when used in conjunction with high-pressure coolant.
Due to the extremely high requirements for profile retention, ITM will work with the customer to determine which grinding wheels to use for this grinding process. We have partnered with the industry’s best grinding wheel manufacturers. Customers can choose between aluminum oxide or silicon carbide depending on the material. ITM machines can use any type of wheel that your application demands.
