Grinding and turning to take centre stage for RK International

RK International Machine Tools will demonstrate its grinding portfolio and the recently introduced EUROPA eturn VS range of manual lathes at MACH in Hall 20 on Stand 265. In total, seven machines will be on display. Grinding machines from supply partners Robbi, Perfect, Delta, and Jainnher will be shown; covering all aspects of abrasive machining through universal and surface grinding, vertical spindle rotary table and centreless grinding. For manual turning, visitors will see the EUROPA eturn mid-range VS390 gap bed lathe.

There will be two machines on show from Robbi, the Robbi Omicron 1000R universal grinder and the Robbi Omicron T7 PLC universal grinder. The Omicron1000R is the smallest in the R-series with a distance between the centre of 1m. The Omicron T7 PLC features the latest control system with touch screen for ease of programming.

The Perfect range of grinders will be represented by the new PFG-3060DT range of touchscreen controlled surface grinders. The Perfect PFG-400R rotary table surface grinder is representing the company’s R series of horizontal spindle, rotary table models. Often referred to as a ring grinder, the spindle is a class P4 high precision angular contact bearing unit, giving run-out accuracy of 2μm. Representing the Delta range will be the LC500 vertical spindle, rotary table surface grinder. The LC500 can grind 500mm diameter up to 205mm high. Centreless grinding is represented by the Jainnher JHC12S machine. It allows through-feed and plunge grinding of components measuring up to 40mm diameter while holding micron level accuracies. 

Completing the display is the new EUROPA eturn VS390 manual lathe. The range also features eturn Energy Management Technology (EEMT), which reduces energy consumption. The eight machine range starts with the compact eturn VS330 to the largest machine, the VS560 with its 560mm swing and up to 3m between centres.
