Precision International Corporation has announced
the new Coborn RG9 CNC Grinding Machine with five programmable axes including
cross slide X-axis and three programmable CNC camera axes for PCD & PcBN inserts
and round tool grinding.
"Incorporating a extremely rigid construction to handle high production applications, the RG9 has a larger work envelope to accommodate addition of rotary and linear fixtures for ten axis capability, enabling it to produce helical ground PCD tools and K-lands on many PcBN and PCD tools," said a spokesperson. "The RG9 is equipped with a unique vision system for in-process inspection and measurement via a camera mounted on X, Y and Z slides that allows the camera to scan left, right, in and out to adjust grind start point, perform in-process inspection and final inspection resulting in greater production efficiency for each grinding cycle."
"Standard features include automatic wheel dressing and wear compensation,
full CNC control via user-friendly touch screen, automatic lubrication, automatic tool shank position detection and alignment correction, plus industrial PC based with 2 x 80 GB mirrored hard drive. The RG9 runs on a Windows platform that allows multitasking, enabling operators to write a new program or edit stored programs while the machine is grinding automatically. "Other grinding applications cover grooving and wiper blades, multiple clearance angle tools, rotary tools, reamers, end mills, saws and helical tools--single and multiple flutes," said the spokesperson.
