This effective and efficient grinding machine combines all the functions of cylindrical, surface and tool grinding into one piece of equipment.
The Multi-Grind machine design makes it easy to grind tools, including sharpening cutters and reamers, as well as turning tools. Developed with a three-point bearing system to ensure minimum temperature effect and consistent grinding quality, the Multi-Grind is well suited for heavy- to light-duty grinding jobs. Equipped with an easy-to-operate, three-speed, grinding headstock, which allows for simultaneous set-up of two different grinding wheels, this machine can be moved in transverse direction, as well as vertically. It can also be rotated around the vertical axis making it highly flexibile for handling continuous and precise grinding cycles.
Featuring hydraulic table feed drives with automatic change of direction, the Multi-Grind offers manually operated longitudinal feeds with hydraulic support to handle fast speeds up to 275 ipm. With a maximum grinding diameter of 8 inches and a maximum work piece length of 20 in, the Multi-Grind is able to handle internal spindle speeds of 13,500 rpm and external spindle speeds of 2,500 rpm. Built of solid cast-iron and weighing over 2,800 lb, the Multi-Grind is able to thoroughly minimize and absorb vibration. Additional features include an automatic central lubrication system, accessible electrical cabinet, vacuum and coolant systems, three-jaw chuck and operating manual.
