ZSM profi – Rack Grinding Machine

 

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The principle

The rack grinding machine ZSM profi moves the machine table in the X direction (table machine). For helical racks, the grinding head can be swiveled automatically (programmably and servo-motor driven) by +/-30°. This allows quick and highly precise swiveling as needed. The enclosed slide eliminates the need for prior cleaning. The optimal position for grinding wheel changes can therefore be reached quickly and automatically when required.

 The rigidity and travel ranges have been optimized and designed so that the full clamping range can be utilized even with the grinding head swiveled ±20°. The position is monitored by the controller.

The basic machine includes a range of equipment, which allows the machine to use in high availability for the accurate production.

Standard features include:

  • Full enclosures
  • Direct measuring of the axes X, Z, U and W
  • Absolute modular angle measuring device with a very high resolution of the C-axis
  • Anti-vibration mounting elements

The fixtures can be specified (see options), but they are not included in base price.

 

The basic machine: precise and robust

The machine bed of the rack grinding machine ZSM profi is a ribbed welded construction. The generously sized, high-precision linear guideways of the axes X, Y and the flat guideways of the X-axis are centrally lubricated.

Control: Innovative system platform

The Siemens Sinumerik ONE control system, including a 19″-multitouch-panel with Sinamics drives, is used in an air-conditioned control cabinet. Special user interface for grinding teeth without NC programming

BENEFITS

For helical racks, the grinding carriage can be swiveled fully automatically by +/-30° (programmable and servo-motor driven). The travel ranges have been increased so that the entire magnetic plate can be used even with helical racks.

Solid construction

A robust construction provides a long life with maximum precision

High Dynamic

Modern linear drive technology enables increased productivity.

Standard automatik flanking

Easy-to-use

A sophisticated user interface allows ergonomic handling and short training time.

  • Specific user interface with 19″-multitouch-panel for rack grinding without NC programming knowledge

Innovative details

Cylindrical grinding wheel adaptors guarantee a fast change of grinding wheels.

rack grinding machine: details and optional equipment

  • working length: 2200 mm
  • working length: 3200 mm

Swiveling the C-axis

The machine is equipped with an automatic swivel axis.

The clamping is released hydraulically, a servo motor and an absolute angle measuring device position the C-axis with extreme precision +/-30°.

Grinding head with balancing system as standard

Fully automatic balancing system which recognizes and removes unbalances at a very early stage. This guarantees a high quality of the workpiece surfaces and a long tool life of the spindle.

Dressing during production time by a 2-axis
dressing system with
diamond wheel

The grinding disk will be dressed during production with a 2-axis (3-axis = optional) CNC controlled diamond wheel which enables a consistently high quality and less downtime.

Automatic adjustment
of cooling agent supply
(Option)

The nozzle compensates abraison on the grinding disk automatically
