WT - Universal heavy-duty grinding with cross-slide configuration
WT: cross-slide heavy-duty grinding machine
With capacity for components of up to 15 tonnes in weight and 10000 mm in length, the WT machine range can grind even the heaviest cylindrical workpieces.
Special grinding needs with high-end solutions are the key value for the largest manufacturers of parts such as extrusion screws, printing rolls, machine tool components and electric motor shafts.
The cross-slide configuration keeps the heavy parts stable while also optimising the machine’s footprint. The structure can be used for a single or double wheelhead to maximise productivity with simultaneous grinding operations such as our WT-72 for mass production of axles for rolling stock and rear axles for trucks.
- Workpiece length: up to 10000 mm
- Workpiece OD: up to 1600 mm
- Grinding wheel diameter: up to 1250 mm
Advantages
- A wide range of wheelhead arrangements for OD and ID grinding operations.
- Single or double wheelhead configuration machine.
- One piece stabilized pearlitic cast iron machine base and sub assemblies.
- Machine V and flat guides are hand scrapped to ensure positioning accuracy and repeatability, correct surface contact and lubrication.
- Danobat high frequency electro spindles with temperature control, improving grinding power and accuracy, minimizing vibrations.
- “B”-axis with integrated high precision torque motor for high positioning accuracy ensuring zero backlashes, less maintenance and longer product life.
- Multi diameter absolute in-process / post-process measuring systems MDM.
- Additional contact or non-contact in/post process measuring devices.
- Grinding of all type of exotic materials: HVOF, glass, tungsten carbide, chrome and so on.
- DoGrind+
- Most relevant machining information displayed in a single view.
- A clearer, more comprehensive list of operations showing the main parameters so that they are easier for the user to understand.
- Multiple optional integrated modules; Profile editor, Contour module, Threads module, Forms module, CAD files import.
