Jones & Shipman offers the Suprema 650 Easy cylindrical grinding machine, which incorporates a universal wheelhead, and has a grinding capacity of 12 in x 25.5 in (300 mm x 650 mm) between centers. Models are also available in 40 in and 60 in (1 m and 1.5 m) table capacities. Whilst this model with its universal wheelhead allows for internal and external grinding, plain straight approach and angle head options are also available; all achieved with very low capital outlay, ensuring fast payback for users.
The 'Easy Control' offers the key advantage of bringing traditional manual machinists into the world of CNC technology, without any additional programming knowledge. In addition, the control can make complex and precise grinding operations far easier to execute than has previously been possible. Built around a GE-Fanuc® touchscreen, the 'Easy Control' software suite from Jones & Shipman removes the requirement for operators to input code, instead providing highly flexible graphical, menu-driven programming. This allows the 'Easy Control' to provide faster turn-around and quicker set-ups than conventional CNCs, whilst retaining all their functionality. Featuring 0.00005 in (10th-micron) programming, standard cycles and even thread and contour grinding, the 'Easy Control' is available as an option in place of a conventional CNC on all current Jones & Shipman grinding machine ranges.
