In many areas of application, it is uneconomical to use oversized universal cylindrical grinding machines for the external machining of smaller components - a lot of floor space is lost and the functionality is not fully utilized.
With the new WPG 7 CNC external grinding machine, EMAG Weiss is currently demonstrating that there is another way of grinding workpieces with a maximum length of 250 mm. The very small machine requires only a minimal footprint, but at the same time features a whole range of high-tech components for flexibility and productivity. This type of machine uses straight or angled external grinding wheels with a maximum diameter of 500 mm, which can also be profiled depending on the task. The integration of an internal grinding wheel is not possible and there is no B-axis for swiveling the headstock, but the rest of the WPG 7 CNC is a state-of-the-art solution including dynamic axes, a powerful and controllable grinding wheel drive and a workhead with stationary or live center (MK4/MK5 or W20/W25). The graphical dialog interface of the operating panel is based on a Fanuc control system and includes all common grinding cycles as standard.
