Introduction
The GRINDSTAR machine by JUNKER replaces traditional turning processes with high-speed plunge-cut grinding, offering significant efficiency, speed, and accuracy improvements, especially for large production volumes.
Grinding Process
GRINDSTAR utilizes CBN and diamond abrasives for minimal grinding times and cost savings. It features innovative coolant technology for extended tool life and boasts over 96% machine availability. The machine combines plunge-cut/profile grinding and cut-off grinding in a single setup, allowing for economical grinding of part families.
Unique Economy
GRINDSTAR reduces piece costs by up to 25% through shorter grinding times, long grinding wheel life, and high process reliability. It supports grinding of difficult materials and eliminates chip removal issues. The machine allows for low-manned production and cost benefits by grinding directly from bar stock.
Equipment and Options
The machine includes an automatic grinding wheel balancing system, synchronized workpiece spindles, efficient pump units, and a torsion-resistant machine stand. It offers variability in abrasives and features an easy-to-program control system. Material handling is meticulously designed with a bar feeder and automated workpiece removal.
Fields of Competence

GRINDING PROCESS HIGH-SPEED PLUNGE-CUT GRINDING Minimal grinding times can be achieved with GRINDSTAR. This new kind of grinding method can be used both with CBN and diamond as an abrasive. Especially when dealing with large production volumes, this opens up scope for enormous savings. The machine is fitted with innovative coolant technology which helps to extend tool life. Machine availability is more than 96 %. Two different grinding methods are used in the machine: Firstly plunge-cut grinding/profile grinding, and secondly cut-off grinding. The essential synergy effect is achieved by combining...

GREATER QUALITY AND MACHINE AVAILABILITY ONE MACHINE TO REPLACE MANY INDIVIDUAL STEPS Using a profiled grinding wheel permits plunge-cut grinding of the entire workpiece contour within an extremely short processing period. In terms of quality, finished workpieces demonstrate substantially greater dimensional stability compared to conventional turning methods. Complete grinding in a single machine significantly reduces process risks and unproductive time. Manufactured parts are up to 100% guaranteed to be free of burrs. Convex or level face ends can also be produced. And even difficult-to-machine...

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS SIMULTANEOUSLY SWITCHED WORKPIECE SPINDLES The two synchronized workpiece spindles ensure optimum workpiece transfer for profile grinding and cutting off. Their speed can be steplessly adjusted depending on the application from 1 - 6,000 rpm. A hydraulically actuated collet chuck provides impressive ultra-precise concentricity. METICULOUSLY DESIGNED MATERIAL AND WORKPIECE HANDLING The bar feeder – with a capacity of up to 4 meters in the standard version and optionally up to 6 meters – takes care of the storage and infeed of bar stock. The bar feeder also removes bar material...
