5-axis CNC tool grinding machine

The Strausak U-Grind offers flexible job shop tool grindingfor high-mix or low-volume production and resharpening of precision cutting tools. It is designed for specialty tools, resharpening and short-batch grinding of cutting tools such as end mills, drills, form tools, inserts and many more. The machine utilizes Numroto software to provide a user-friendly conversational control to manage a wide variety of geometries and greatly reduce the risk of collisions.

Companies can bring form tool production and tool resharpening in-house thanks to the machine’s quick and easy setup due to innovative tooling as well as an automatic wheel changer and optimized accessibility to the work area, the company says. High grinding performance is said to cover a wide range of cutting tool applications thanks to a powerful grinding spindle. The company says direct drives on each axes, combined with direct measuring systems, provide continuous accuracy. The smart-designed, cast-iron base reaches thermal stability after very short warmup times. A rigid and vibration-damping machine base result in smooth surface finish and minimized wheel wear.
