Rollomatic has introduced the ShapeSmart model NP50 for pinch grinding nonround parts such as oblong punches, form punches, squares out of center, and corner radiuses. According to the company, the process delivers high tolerances, form accuracy, and low TIR, which is important for thin and long parts.

The machine is designed for cylindrical grinding of carbide steel, high-speed steel, and stainless steel components with emphasis on surface finish and concentricity.

Rough and finish grinding are performed in one pass, eliminating a separate process and reducing cycle time. The machine uses two different grinding wheels running on separate spindles and positioned on independently controlled CNC linear slides.
