Fast process for grinding.Although the Prokos profile grinder Grinder A slang term for a person who works in the investment industry and makes small amounts of money at a time on small investments, over and over again. Notes: from Blohm Maschinenbau GmbH (available in the U.S. through United Grinding; www.grinding.com; Miamisburg, OH) is not specifically targeted for the auto industry (through bearings is one application area), given the capabilities of this new machine--which the company claims is the first of its type--it ought to be considered for possible application. That's because it uses linear drives for both linear and rotary axes axes [L., Gr.] plural of axis. The straight lines which intersect at right angles and on which graphs are drawn. Usually the horizontal axis is the x-axis and the vertical one the y-axis. Called also axes of reference. . The linear drives are said to make the machine 30% more productive than with standard drives and reduce wheel consumption by more than 20%. One particularly interesting capability is called "speed stroke" grinding. In this process, the wheel takes small cuts. Quickly.

Speed stroke grinding keeps the heat out of the part, which allows materials like titanium titanium (tītā`nēəm, tĭ–) [from Titan], metallic chemical element; symbol Ti; at. no. 22; at. wt. 47.88; m.p. 1,675°C;; b.p. 3,260°C;; sp. gr. 4.54 at 20°C;; valence +2, +3, or +4. to be ground. The Prokos can handle workpieces measuring 300 x 300 x 300 mm. The wheelhead vertical travel is 400 mm, and cross travel is 900 mm. There is a 30-kW spindle spindle: see spinning. A rotating shaft in a disk drive. In a fixed disk, the platters are attached to the spindle. In a removable disk, the spindle remains in the drive. Laptops use spindle designations to indicate the number of built-in drives. drive that provides up to 120,000 rpm for the 300mm OD grinding wheel. An optional tool changing system allows the machine to completely machine a part, including grinding, milling and drilling. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
