Supertec Machinery’s ID-300CNC grinder enables a maximum grinding depth of 7.8" and a part swing of 15.75", with a grinding capacity ranging from 0.08" to 12". The grinder features a 10 to 1,000-rpm variable-speed workhead. Uniaxial movement of the X and Z axes avoids deviation caused by vibration of cross-stacking for increased stability and precision during the grinding process. A workhead manual swivel capacity of +30 and -5 degrees eases complex taper grinding. An optional manual face-grinding attachment is available.
 
The FANUC 0i-TD control drives and servo motors coupled with grinding software enable as many as eight different face-grinding applications in a single setup. Additional canned cycle software for ID, end face and taper grinding simplify programming of complex parts, the company says.  
 
The company also offers the ID grinder in a two-axis automatic version with a conversational shopfloor language.
