ANCA Offers Economical Pneumatic Grinding Machine
The FX5E features a swing-table pallet design to load and unload pallets.
ANCA’s FX5E tool grinding package is an economical elemental machine for small to medium grinding of cylindrical tools.
The FX5E is fully pneumatic, with a pneumatic headstock and a new cam-drive pneumatic two wheel-pack changer. The wheel changer is mechanically guided on a circular path. The pneumatics are said to ensure smooth arrival and accurate positioning at its end position after each wheel-change motion.
The AR300 automatic tool loader has a fast tool loading and unloading cycle time of 15 seconds and enables unattended operation. The FX5E features a unique swing-table pallet design to load and unload AR300 standard pallets. The swing table is easily accessible directly from the operator door without the need for a separate loader door.
