High-speed grinding machine equipped with CNC

Okuma’s GPW/GAW grinder series now is equipped with the intelligent OSP-P300G CNC. The open-architecture control runs on a Windows®-based platform and fully integrates the machine, motors, drives, and encoders, allowing for enhanced machine performance and true customization to suit particular machining needs, the company states. The user can toggle among machine operations, programming, and wheel-preparation screens.

The wheelhead traverse structure gives the grinders a compact footprint that saves floor space. The machine is designed to allow various workpieces to be loaded easily for automation in high-production environments. The rigid foundation allows for heavy-duty cutting and high-speed grinding of 5.5 kW with an optional 7.5 kW.

The standard chatter control function automatically adjusts wheel speed for accurate, stable machining. The high-speed grinding wheel spindle is suitable for cutting mass-produced small parts with precision.
