Strausak, a member of Rollomatic Holding, presents the U-Grind five-axis CNC tool and cutter grinder featuring thermal stability designed to facilitate consistent, accurate, small batch production and regrinding. The two different optional loaders include a small-batch loader and full robotic automation. Features includes an automatic wheel changer and a direct-drive 12-kW (17-hp) grinding spindle with an optional automatic loader. The machine’s automatic quick-change system is designed for collet change and for ISO 50-taper toolholder change.
The grinder features NUM Flexium control and NumrotoPlus tool grinding software enabling 3D tool simulation, machine animation, and collision checking. Additional software is available for complex step/form tools, hobs, burrs, shape cutters, T-slot cutters, high-performance end mills and drills (including K-land grinding), routers, porting and other types of cutting tools. A touch probe is included for grinding wheel qualification. Digitization of existing cutting edges is included for grinding or regrinding pre-fluted tools.
