Intelligent Grinding, Milling and Polishing System for Tool and Mold Making

In Booth C-13164, Suhner Industrial Products Inc. (Rome, GA) will showcase their innovative SUNmic 60 micro motor system with intelligent technology for tool and mold making. In many technical fields, ultrafine grinding is one of the tasks that gives the product its final polish in the truest sense of the word. This applies equally to both precision and the visual appeal. The central element of the SUNmic 60 is an intelligent control unit with touch panel that can accept a range of micro motors and tool hand pieces depending on the application. The control part has modern features, such as touch screen operation on a glass display, the option to save settings and a rotation speed regulator with tangible resistance. Key settings are easily legible on a large digital display.

The actual tools are driven by powerful micro motors whose 280W place a lot of power in the user’s hand. The compact, brushless BL/DC motors provide an extraordinarily wide speed range of 1,000 to 60,000 rpm and deliver a high torque. In practice, they can be compared with pneumatic technologies but do not need a compressed air supply, operate at lower energy levels and emit virtually zero noise, without exhaust air or oil mist emissions. They also run virtually free of vibration. The high concentricity safeguards clean and reproducible results in all areas of operation. A special heavy duty clamping system prevents the millers from shifting. Chuck diameters range from 2.35 mm, 3.0 mm and 6.0 mm to 1/8 in and 1/4 in. The new SUNmic 60 micro motor system can be connected to a 90V-240V source, meaning it can be used anywhere in the world. It offers a large number of combinations. The tools range from straight, angle and filing hand pieces to belt grinders. The control unit can be connected to two BL/DC motors and an AC motor. The new control unit is compatible with available micro motors.

The SUNmic 60 is a true multi-purpose tool for many applications. It can be used everywhere a precision finish is desired: complex grinding, milling, brushing and polishing in tool and mold making; in aircraft, engine and motor building; in engine tuning; and much more. A range of matching machines, tools and abrasives are also available that have been tailored specifically to each of these applications, and an illustrated mold making tool catalog is available.
