What happens when you couple intelligent machine tool design with a scientific approach to grinding? A machine so advanced, so versatile, so simple to use – you can employ machine

Grind a wide range of internal threads, grooves, ball tracks and other forms on one machine!

The best of Drake grinding technologies in one advanced grinder! operators rather than journeyman machinists – and still ship good parts out the door from day one! With the GS:TI-LM, Drake offers you ahigh value-added grinding machine to remain globally competitive for years to come. Drake advanced design and grindingtechnologies: •Built-in Part Smart™ programming - run parts and change over jobs with menu-driven ease. •Linear motors on linear ways for maximum acceleration and contouring with fewer mechanical parts for low maintenance.•High static and dynamic stiffness - use the latest superabrasives with confidence.•Full ±10°Power Helix. •0.05 micron scale feedback for world-class accuracy.•Drake Smart Spindle™ technology providing automatic touch dressing, and part feature locating. No programming knowledge required .•Drake Smart Form™ technology automatically generates wheel forms for correcting helical path interference and off-helix grinding or calculates setup parameters for generating desired part feature geometry with a standard wheel form.•Mineral-filled cast polymer base with excellent thermal stability and vibration dampening.•State of the art Fanuc CNC system. •A lean, clean, ergonomic design and compact footprint for easy operation in a cell environment.•Part size: 14" (350 mm) long by 14" dia. (350 mm).
