acugrind-C

The acugrind-C is a centerless grinding machine designed to achieve, besides tight diameter tolerances, high concentricity accuracy (ID to OD). Parts typically ground on the machine are bushings or tubes. Prerequisite is an already existing accurate bore through where a high precision wire is pulled. The parts threaded onto this guiding wire form a processing chain of parts up to 1000 mm in length. The wire is mounted onto the oscillating axis of the machine. The special process is used with hard material workpieces as ruby or sapphire bearings, ceramic connectors for fiberglass (ferrules), carbide guide bushings or stainless steel medical tubes, waterjet cutting orifices, permanent magnets for micro drives and injection nozzles.
