Okuma will reveal its best-kept CNC grinding machine secret at GrindingHub 2022. The company will present the GI-20NII and the GP25W at its 91m² stand located at Booth A18, Hall 10 of the Messe Stuttgart exhibition centre.
Available in the UK from NCMT, Okuma has a reputation for innovative turning and milling machines featuring proprietary CNC control systems, but it has also been very active in promoting the development and production of innovative grinding machines for over 100 years. At GrindingHub 2022, Okuma will show two innovative products that deliver precise grinding with maximum dimensional accuracy.
The GI-20NII internal grinding machine for profile grinding and automated series production is precise, highly efficient and reliable thanks to the five-sided hydrostatic axis guide that has proven successful at Okuma. The company’s Thermo-Friendly Concept achieves thermal stability and better machine performance. With the aid of the numerically controlled axis, the machine can reach a higher removal rate at faster cycle times, whether in the two-spindle version or the four-spindle version.
The machine can be equipped with a top speed range of 15,000rpm to 150,000rpm, depending on requirements.
The GP25W is ideal for the high-performance machining and high-precision mass production of small parts to be used in either the automotive industry, household appliances or hydraulic systems. Users benefit from short machining times thanks to fast axis feed rates. What’s more, the grinding disc speed is adjusted automatically and unwanted resonant frequencies caused by the machining process are monitored to keep component accuracy consistently high. Both of these grinding machines are supplied with Okuma’s OSP-P300GA CNC control system.
