• Hand scraped slideways
• 3 axis electric servo driven slides
• Ball screw driven cross feed
• Ball screw driven table and cross feed
• Scale and encoder feedback for accurate positioning
• Standard control features
• Conversational operator interface
• Ability to change speeds and feeds while running a program
• Ability to name and save programs
• Wheel dressing compensation

Canned Programs

Area Cycle – Grinding a flat area with controlled stock removal with or without wheel dressing compensation.

Plunge Cycle – A steady plunge downward of the grinding wheel with the cross feed in a locked position while the table is stroking (often used for a slicing or cutoff operation).

Pitch Grind Cycle – This slot-grinding program can be set up to grind one or more slots of a precision width with accurate positioning from slot to slot.

Form or Angle Cycle – This program is used primarily when grinding carbide or ceramic with a diamond wheel with a known radius. After the radius or angle is defined in the controller, the machine "steps" in the desired form. This program mimics a manual grinder by moving one axis at a time.

Master Cycle – This program is used to link one or more of the above programs to generate a complete or more complete part in one set up.
