Cylindrical Grinding Machine
Description
The ShapeSmart NP50 is a 5-axis Precision Cylindrical Pinch/Peel grinding machine with an integrated 3-axis robot loader and grinding diameter range from 0.025 to 25 mm (.001 to 1 in.).
The ShapeSmart NP50 is ideal for cutting tool blank preparation as well as punch and mold applications requiring complex geometry and high length-to-diameter ratios. The unique kinematics of the NP50 allows for precise pinch and peel grinding at a highly flexible level for a wide variety of parts such as cutting tool blanks, boring bar blanks, threaded parts, flats as well as non-round punches.
The concept of this machine offers the advantage of carrying out all these operations in one chucking.
