Product catalog summary
Overview: The SATURN double-disc surface grinding machine by JUNKER is designed for high-efficiency grinding of workpieces on their parallel outer surfaces using two vertical grinding wheels. The machine supports two main processes: rotation and pendulum grinding, catering to various workpiece shapes and sizes.
Technology: The rotation process involves feeding workpieces between grinding wheels using a rotating carrier, suitable for cylindrical or square elements, achieving up to 450 parts per minute. The pendulum process is used for workpieces with larger stock amounts, utilizing a swinging tool carrier.
Applications: The rotation process is ideal for components like con rods, engine valves, and brake discs, while pendulum grinding is suited for forged or cast parts and solid sintered parts.
Machine Features: The SATURN machine accommodates workpiece diameters from 5 to 200 mm, offering high throughput and ease of operation. It supports both conventional and CBN grinding wheels, allowing for the grinding of various materials including softer steels and ceramics.
Efficiency and Automation: The machine features automatic loading and unloading, high utilization with CBN abrasives, and simple grinding wheel changes. It includes a multi-circuit lubrication unit and a full protection cover for safety.
Precision and Control: The machine is equipped with two 30 kW spindle drives, continuous speed regulation, and precise mounting on roller bearings. It offers CNC control options and automatic guide plate adjustments for different workpiece widths.
Additional Options: The SATURN can be equipped with various automation systems, post-process measurement control, and mist extraction systems. It also offers fire protection features and can integrate with LTA air filtration systems.
Technical Data: The document provides detailed specifications for the SATURN 660 and SATURN 915 series, including dimensions, weight, and grinding capabilities.
Global Presence: JUNKER has a global presence with offices in Europe, Asia, and America, providing extensive after-sales service and support.

SATURN - Double-dic surface grinding-2

TWO GRIND QUICKER THAN ONE With SATURN double-disc surface grinding, two vertical grinding wheels simultaneously grind the workpiece on its parallel outer surfaces. The grinding wheels are set against each other at a slightly conical angle, so that as it passes from top to bottom, the workpiece retains its final dimension only in the bottom section of the grinding path. Because the workpieces are fed vertically between the grinding wheels, the bearing weight of the workpiece does not affect the grinding result. What’s more, the coolant can simply drain downwards together with the removed material....

ROTATION PROCESS PENDULUM GRINDING With SATURN double-disc surface grinding using the rotation process, a closed or an open breaker plate (star plate) feeds the workpieces between the grinding wheels and the guide plates, which are automatically adjusted by the control. This through-feed grinding process, which employs a rotating workpiece carrier, is suitable for a number of workpiece shapes, as well as for cylindrical or square elements. In the case of small parts such as piston components, needles, bushings etc. with diameters of approx. 8 mm, cycle times of as high as 450 parts per minute...

TECHNOLOGY FOR DAILY PRODUCTIVITY DESIGNED FOR PRECISION GRINDING SPINDLE HEAD A compact grey cast iron bed with stabilising ribbing carries the two spindle headstocks and rotation tool carriage. To change the workpiece guide tool or any other component, this is simply moved outwards. Both its front section and the transition of the spindle headstocks to the grinding spindle sleeves are protected by belows cover and telescopic metal covers. The grinding wheel is changed from the top through a manually opening door. The two SATURN spindle headstocks of the grinding wheels are mounted on three...
