VGrind 360E /////////// ROTARY TOOLS // Grinding machine for the cost-effective complete machining of carbide tools up to 100 mm in diameter

PRECISION, FOCUSED ON WHAT MATTERS MOST: WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE VGrind 360E, V ­ OLLMER HAS LAUNCHED A FIVE-AXIS GRINDING M ­ ACHINE FOR THE RESHARPENING AND SMALL BATCH PRODUCTION OF CARBIDE TOOLS UP TO 100 MM IN DIAMETER. THE PRINCIPLE: THE WORKPIECES CAN BE M ­ ACHINED ON TWO VERTICALLY CONFIGURED GRINDING SPINDLES – AT THE OPTIMUM C-AXIS ­P IVOT POINT. THE RESULT: HIGH-LEVEL PRODUCTIVITY AND P ­ RECISION WITH AN UNBEATABLE PRICE/ PERFORMANCE RATIO. CHARACTERISTICALLY VOLLMER. VGrind 360E – COST EFFICIENCY SQUA

VGrind 360E - STANDS FOR EFFICIENCY AND PRECISION ////fm NEW WALL CONCEPT Very rigid, compact construction with optimal accessibility and overview for the operator. ////M NUMROTOp/us® The reliable, intuitively operated software with 3D workpieces and machine simulation, combined with collision monitoring. ////M MULTI-LAYER MACHINING Two vertical grinding spindles with the grinding wheel set at the C-axis pivot point. Reduced machining times thanks to shorter linear-axis travel distances. ////M WORKPIECE AUTOMATION Integrated pick-up loader for efficiently machining up to 40 workpieces....

/// THE MACHINE CONCEPT Precision and efficiency squared. As the world’s first grinding machine with two vertically configured grinding spindles, the VGrind 360E is setting new standards. /// ive-axis CNC grinding machine with innovative kinematics. F Short linear-axis travel distances and swivel ranges for i ­ncreased efficiency and precision in Production /// wo grinding spindles situated one above the other, with T a grinding wheel set positioned in the C-axis pivot point, provide highly precise grinding results //// VGrind 360E with a new and innovative machine concept 04

/// nnovative wall concept with the highest possible rigidity I and outstanding damping thanks to polymer concrete /// ffective motor and spindle cooling concept for higher E thermal stability and lasting power and precision /// The vertical spindle arrangement solves the well-known problems related to fixed and floating bearings /// oth grinding spindles can be fitted with various B ­different tools. //// PIVOT POINT FOR GRINDING WHEEL SETS located in the centre of the C-axis 05

/...// THE MACHINE CONCEPT OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT /// Integrated pick-up loader for up to 40 workpieces, d ­ epending on diameter. /// inear scales: Even greater precision thanks to L d ­ etermining the position of the axes /// table, flexibly adjustable steady rest with automatic S stroke ensures optimal grinding results for longer ­workpieces /// isc probe: Tool measurement and wear control within D the machine //// STEADY REST for precisely metered counterpressure for tool grinding 06

/// THE APPLICATION The VGrind 360E was designed for the resharpening and small batch production of carbide drills and cutters of up to 100 mm diameter. //// MACHINING CARBIDE CUTTERS //// MACHINING CARBIDE DRILLS up to 100 mm //// SIZES AND SHAPES up to 100 mm in diameter in a wide range of geometries 07

/// THE OPERATING CONCEPT When developing the VGrind 360E, we focussed on high user-­ friendliness. The new VOLLMER control panel is positioned so that you not only always have the LCD display in full view, but also the work area. Operation via touchscreen or keyboard is simple, intuitive and precise. The multifunction handwheel is another new component, which ensures even more flexibility: It can be freely positioned on the enclosure and is designed for setting a required axis – without using the control panel. In short: Good ideas for s ­ imple, intuitive and precise operation. ////...

/// SOFTWARE NUMROTOplus ® VOLLMER consciously opted for a mature system that is a ­ lready established on the market. The logically structured i ­nterface guarantees intuitive handling. With established p ­ rogramming systems, a huge variety of tools can be m ­ anufactured and resharpened. As a result, every detail on i ­ndividual tools can be altered and adapted to individual needs. Fully informed: Thanks to a perfect 3D diagram of the tool and machine. And with collision monitoring, you can always stay on the safe side. /// Develop /// Simulate /// Monitor /// Produce /// Measure ///...

/// AUTOMATION Be it resharpening or small batch production: Effective auto­ mation helps to shape your machining process to be more precise, faster and more reliable. /// WORKPIECE AUTOMATION Integrated pick-up loader for up to 40 workpieces The pick-up loader integrated into the machine enables up to 40 workpieces – depending on diameter – to be picked up and machined highly efficient
