Product catalog summary
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 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, high process reliability, and simultaneous grinding of multiple surfaces. It supports grinding of difficult materials and eliminates burr formation, with low-manned production 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 an easy-to-program CNC control system. Material handling is optimized with a bar feeder and automated workpiece removal.
Fields of Competence
JUNKER provides comprehensive fire protection, specific measurement systems, and full protective covers for safety. Their technology centers offer demonstrations and customer-specific tests. The company emphasizes energy efficiency and offers tailored production lines and non-standard solutions.
Technical Data
The GRINDSTAR features a grinding spindle with a 520 mm wheel diameter, cutting speeds up to 170 m/s, and a bar capacity of 2-20 mm. It supports various materials, including high-speed steel and special alloys, with a connected load of 75 kVA and dimensions of 2400 x 1800 x 2100 mm.

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...

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...
