Setup with µ-level accuracy in just a few minutes using two gauges, with absolute repeatability when changing blanks or collets. GDS developed the μGrind HPS in close cooperation with leading tool grinding professionals specifically to achieve high precision clamping in that field. In short, designed by tool grinders for tool grinding! Excellent damping properties for uniform material removal while optimizing feed rates. Workpiece surface finish is perfectly consistent and grinding wheel wear is significantly reduced. Your grinding process will be both highly productive and predictable. The µGrind booster HPS is available for almost all WALTER CNC tool grinders (including the Helitronic Micro), and also for ANCA machines, Star machines, Reinecker, Saacke and Vollmer machines. Take off into a new dimension of accuracy and prepare to be amazed by it.
Features:
- Concentricity alignment, adjustable radial and axial runout (patented)
- Very high concentricity and repeatability, runout ≤ 0.002 mm at 2½ x D
- Strongest holding forces in tool grinding technology
- Tapered profile for optimal wheel clearance
- Automatic loading of the workpieces
Your Advantages:
- Eliminate both radial and axial runout (weeble-wobble) without special tools or skill
- Exceptional stable runout throughout the grind
- Possible to maintain tight tolerances of the ground tool
- Change diameters in seconds and maintains its precision to ≤ 0.002 mm at 2½ x D without adjustment
- Exceptional concentricity and repeatability of the blank even after grinding
- Requires a relatively short clamping length on the blank to achieve constant holding force and concentricity
- Offers excellent dampening properties for uniform material removal, optimized feed rates, excellent surface finish,
and significantly reduced grinding wheel wear
- Enjoy free grinding properties without the need of a steady-rest, even for longer tool blanks
- Reduce finished part inspections and unnecessary set up times
- Suitable for both high production and regrinding
- Handles shank-Ø from 2.35 to 20 mm
