MICRON MACRO-I Flexible CNC grinding center for Creep Feed-, Profile-, and HEDG grinding CUSTOMER BENEFITS • Based on the innovative MovingWheel-Head (MWH) concept, all linear movements when positioning and grinding are performed by the grinding head • Used in almost every industrial sector in which precision mechanical components are found. Wherever there is a need for accurate profiles or slots and / or close finish requirements MICRON equipment offers excellent, economical results • Torque tube design • Polymer concrete-filled machine bed • Tool slides of the machine are made from cast iron • Efficient vibration damping • High thermal stability • Water-cooled spindles and spindle drives • Different rotary speeds and power levels available • Stable temperature during grinding • Consistently high part quality The MACRO Philosophy The “Macro” machine range is based on the innovative Moving-Wheel-Head (MWH) concept. All linear movements when positioning and grinding are performed by the grinding head. Compared to conventional moving column and moving table concepts this design arranges the axes in a very compact way, which results in optimum force distribution and minimal thermal variation, properties which result in best possible process control over a long lifespan. The most diverse range of areas of application “Macro” machines are used in almost every industrial sector in which precision mechanical components are found. Wherever there is a need for accurate profiles or slots and/or close finish requirements MICRON equipment offers excellent, economical results. In the aircraft engine and stationary turbine industries, components with poor machinability, such as turbine blades and vanes, can be ground efficiently. Further applications are the highly efficient production of linear guide components, saw tooth profiles, gear racks, gear rings, guides, work holding details, cutting tools, broaches and highly dense ceramic parts. Steering system components and rocker arms are machined in the automotive industry. Stators and rotors in the hydraulic industry are other areas of application. The “Macro-I” is a high production grinding center with an X-travel up to 900 mm long. The enhanced X-travel allows grinding of large sized work pieces. This machine offers an index table so that loading and unloading can be done during the grind cycle. The index table needs only a few seconds to transport the newly clamped work piece into the grinding area with a simple rotation. Long dwell times are therefore eliminated. This makes the equipment very suitable for multiple machine operation as well as automation. Software Characteristics: • State-of-the-art CNC technology. Siemens 840D with multi-channel structure and interpolation of up to 5 axes • Pre-installed programs and grinding cycles • Option: Acoustical Emission Monitoring System. Sensor in spindle nose with inductive signal transmission in back of spindle • Further options: Integrated Balancing System for fully automated wheel balancing, high pressure cleaner, automatic nozzle adjustment, etc. Software Benefits: • Simple operation. Ideal for machining complex grinding applications • Comfortable and fast adaption of different grinding operations • Useable for collision monitoring, first detection of work piece and dressing Increases production safety and reduces operating costs • Best tailored to the customer‘s needs
