3-Axis External Thread Grinder

With magazine loader

A new MINI thread grinder that delivers BIG performance!

With a work envelope of just 100 mm x 100 mm, Drake's new GS:TEM Thread External Mini grinder is aimed at higher volume, precision threaded parts manufacturers in the cutting tool, automotive, aerospace and medical equipment industries.

If you're grinding small taps, thread rolls, thread gages, worms, ballscrews, aerospace fasteners or surgical bone screws, this is the machine for you.

• PartSmart™ Programming and process development. Like all Drake grinders, the GS:TEM is fully programmed to run your parts before it leaves our shop floor. Just enter specific part variables and process information prompted by the menus to run your parts.

• High mass, mineral filled, rigid steel shell base dampens vibration and is thermally stable allowing you to run superabrasives with confidence.

Fanuc servo motors with high resolution encoders and Heidenhain linear scales on positioning axes assure precision now and after many years of multi-shift operation.

Diamond roll contour dressing - dress complex topping and non-topping wheel forms including full radius and gothic arch; acme with crest and root radii or chamfers as well as 60°, Whitworth, ISO, buttress and other thread forms.

Reliable CNC diagnostics and

simplified mechanical systems keep maintenance to a minimum. But if something does go wrong, Drake's service is unparalleled. In short, "You crash, we dash!"
